To qualify to live in an affordable apartment complex your household income must be less than any one of the three income levels at the left (either 35%, 45%, or 60% of the median income level). Your rent will be equal to the amount corresponding to the number of bedrooms you choose in the income level that you fit into. For example, a family of four earning less than $35,235 (45% of the median income) would qualify for a 3-bedroom apartment with a monthly rent of approximately $881, or a 2-bedroom apartment with a monthly rent of $793. How do I know which apartment complex to apply to?First, match your household income and family size with either the 35%, 45%, or 60% income level. Then choose which size unit your family needs, or can afford. Then review the list of affordable apartment complexes to see which property matches your requirements. Contact the property manager directly for additional information. 2007 Rates and IncomesCurrent Income Guides
