Not only does Housing & Urban Development deal with fair housing and discriminatory issues, they offer the following:
*Rent – Assisted Housing for Elderly/Disabled is housing complexes that receive federal funding which requires these units to offer low-income senior citizens, age 62 and over, pay no more than 30% of their income on rent, including utilities.
*Public Housing is a low-income housing that is actually operated by your local Housing Authority. It was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.
*Section 8 in which the housing authority gives the tenant a certificate or vouchers that says that the government will subsidize your rent payment so you can find your own housing. The program assists the very low-income, elderly, and disabled.
*Privately Owned Subsidized Housing is where the government provides subsidies directly to the owner who then applies it to the rent. This is for low-income tenants.
*Housing & Urban Development’s Home Program is an affordable housing program, which provides grants to state and local governments, which may be used by them to offer rental assistance.
