Eligibility
Detailed information on eligibility requirements and the tenant selection process will be sent with each application, but the following general information may be helpful.

Household Composition
Applicants must provide verifiable proof of their household composition and size, including the age and disability status of each household member.

Citizenship
Applicants must submit verifiable evidence that they are citizens or nationals of the United States, or noncitizens who have eligible immigration status.

Social Security Numbers
Applicants must disclose social security numbers for all family members and provide proof of the numbers reported.

Household Income
All households must be eligible for Section 8 rent subsidy, so applicants must provide verifiable proof that their projected annual household income for the next twelve months will not exceed the stipulated maximum income limits at the time of application and annually thereafter.

No Other Residence
Applicants must certify that the dwelling unit for which the household is applying will be the household’s only residence.

Consent Forms
All adult members of the applicants’ household must sign an Authorization for Release of Information and, as needed, verification forms so that we can independently verify all the information you provide us.

Criminal Activity
Applicants must make certain verifiable declarations concerning the criminal activity of all members of their household, including but not limited to: eviction from federally-assisted housing for drug-related criminal activity; current illegal use of drugs; state sex offender lifetime registration requirement; the abuse or pattern of abuse of alcohol; crimes of violence or threat of violence including, but not limited to, the illegal discharge of firearms; fleeing to avoid prosecution, or custody or confinement after conviction; violation of probation or parole; or any criminal history whatsoever related to drugs, violence or sex-related offenses. The criminal record in itself may not automatically disqualify the applicant. Failure to disclose the existence of the criminal record, however, will be automatic grounds for rejecting the application.

Occupancy Standards
A household may include no more than two persons in either a one-bedroom or efficiency apartment.

Applicant Screening
Applicants are screened uniformly to help ensure that all our residents will abide by the terms of the lease and the house rules; will pay their rent on time; will take care of their apartment, the appliances and the common areas of the property; and will conduct themselves so everyone can safely and peacefully enjoy their homes. Screening includes verification of all information provided in the application, plus credit, rental and criminal histories.
