Waitlist Forecast

Since this property may have a Section 8 Property Based Rental Assistance contract with rental assistance available to its residents, it is likely the property has a waiting list. Sometimes these waiting lists can be months or years long and may or may not be accepting new applicants. You should contact the property to verify.

Note: Affordable Housing Online has not confirmed the waiting list status directly with the property. This waiting list status forecast is based on our housing experts' knowledge of similar properties. You should always confirm this status directly with the property.

We are a Project Based Section 8 building - the rent is based on 30% of your gross income. Applicants must be 62 years or older to apply for residency. Couples are welcome to apply if one of the couple meets the minimum age requirement. Additionally, applicants must meet the eligibility requirements of the Section 8 rental assistance program of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and satisfy the admissions criteria of Barnum House.

Dave's Thoughts On Barnum House

Since Barnum House participates in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program, your rent would be subsidized. You would not pay more than 30% of your income for rent. To qualify, you must earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), which you can find on this page’s income chart. Also, project-based Section 8 properties tend to have longer waiting lists, with some with waiting lists going out for years. Since this property participates in the Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance 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.
