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.
Villa Maria stands majestically 13 stories high, nestled in the beautiful little town of Ocean Springs among hundred year old oak trees. From the top floors, the views of the Gulf of Mexico are indescribable. Everything imaginable is within walking distance; senior citizen centers, restaurants, drugstores, shopping, banks and many more. The community features studio and one bedroom apartments for low income persons 62 and over. Rent is based on income with federal subsidy available for those in need of rental assistance. Certain medical expenses can be used as a deduction.
Since Villa Maria 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.
