Since Section 8 vouchers are so difficult to get, is there a place to find other housing programs that set rent based on your income?

Answer

Yes, there are likely other programs available other than Section 8 and Public Housing. Housing authorities often provide additional housing programs. You can also search our website for your area of interest, and scroll down to the list of affordable housing communities that may have other programs available. Please contact the housing authority or apartment community for more information.
