    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is rent and income eligibility determined?

    Rent and income limits have been established under federal program guidelines based on household size. Qualifying income limits and rents are adjusted annually. Housing Choice and VASH Vouchers are accepted.
       Please Note:  Apartments within the community have different income limits.  An applicant’s income-eligibility must be determined as it relates to an available apartment.  If an applicant does not meet the income requirements for a particular available apartment, they may retain their current place on the waiting list as long as their household income is not less than the minimum or more than the maximum income limits for the community.

    Are any utilities included in the rent?

    Yes! Rent includes electric heat, waste disposal, water and sewer service, lawn maintenance and snow removal.

    How much is the security deposit and application fee?

    The security deposit is equal to one month's rent. There is a small non-refundable application fee per applicant.
