Apply at subsidized housing communities. Subsidized housing has a rental subsidy provided to a specific apartment. The biggest qualifying factor involves household income, but landlords also consider whether you qualify as a family, a senior, or a person with an applicable disability. Also, at least one person in your family must be a citizen, national, or non-citizen with eligible immigration status.

Apply for rental assistance. A “tenant-based voucher” is a rental subsidy provided to low-income individuals and families. These vouchers allow families to find their own housing in the private rental market. Once housing is found, approved and leased by the voucher holder, a monthly rental subsidy begins.
