The public housing consists of 1, 2, 3, 4 bedroom units which are located in Yuma, Somerton, and San Luis, Arizona. Eligible families including elderly, disabled, handicapped, and single persons who meet the very low income limits, pay rent proportionate to income. Our main office is located in Somerton, Arizona.
This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Valley Vista participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
