My income will be lower after I move. Would I apply using my current income, or the income I will receive after moving?

Question

Accepted Answer

Even if you are expecting an income change in the future, you must report the total gross income you are currently receiving. If placed onto a waiting list, you must report any changes to your pre-application, such as contact and income information. This helps the office determine eligibility once your name reaches the top of the list.So, once your
income changes, you must immediately report that change to the housing office you applied through. Contact the office you applied through to find out how to update application information. You can search our website for housing authority and apartment community contact information.
