If you report a change in your income, will they make you move?

Answer

If your income changes, and it is still under the specified income limit for the number of persons in your household, you likely wouldn't have to move. And if your monthly rent is income-based, your monthly contribution should decrease.


However, if your income change is above the income limit for the number of persons in your household, you may no longer qualify for rental assistance.

Please contact the housing office that manages your unit for more information. You can search our website for housing authority and apartment community contact information.
