Low Income Housing Knowledge Base
Can a man qualify for low income housing based on his take home pay? I was just wondering. A friend of mine makes around 50,000 a year but to qualify for low income housing with 4 people in the household you can't make over 40 something. A good majority of his paycheck goes to his 3 kids. Do you think they will take that into account? So the fact that his takehome pay is around 20,000 a year doesn't matter? And FYI the low income housing is 899 a month for rent.
How to reinstate drivers license if your in low income housing program? My friend lives in low income housing in WA State. She got pulled over by a cop today and they told her that she has a suspended driver license. Well, she has no money to pay for the ticket(s), but I heard that there is a program to help people to reinstate drivers license if your in housing. I'm trying to help her, but I can't find nothing like that online, and I don't know how to help her. :( Can someone help me, or maybe how to find it. Thank you.
How much is the rent for low Income Housing (rentals) in California? Specifically the bay area. Many cities offer low income housing options for people with low to very low income. These people get to rent apartments for below market value. Does anyone know from personal experience how much the rent is for this kind of housing? I am not talking about section 8. Section 8 lists are closed. Thanks.
How does an apartment become qualified for low-income Housing? Hi. I have a friend who owns a small apartment complex (well, apartment building would be more accurate). He is interested in getting at least one of those apartments qualified so that people with low income and Housing through the state can live there. Neither of us have been able to figure out how to go about this, or even where to start. Any advice would be great! If it helps, the apartments are in Spokane Valley, Washington (state). Thank you!
Would building more affordable and low-income housing help reduce violence in inner city neighborhoods? As we all know, the single biggest cause of crime is poverty and lack of education. This is why inner city black neighborhoods are often plagued by crime and drugs. So I'm thinking if we build more low-income housing and increase education funding(build more schools, get more teachers, etc) for poor families in inner-city neighborhoods, the black crime rate would go down significantly. I think more funding for welfare might help too, but increasing funding for job training and education would be even more important, to help get people off welfare. Do you think this approach would reduce crime?

What kinds of questions do I ask about low-income housing? I am expecting a baby and will only be able to work part time after he is born (please, no comments about how I should stay at home or how my husband should get a second job or child care is bad, blah blah blah). I'm currently looking at low income-housing in our area and have found some places that seem like they would work perfectly. The only problem is that I don't know what kinds of questions to ask them. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks. Ok, here's more details: It's in the same city we live in, and we know the neighborhood well. 2 bed, 1 bath, lots of space. Crime rate is not an issue there. Also, it has a refrigerator, dishwasher and stove, with w/d hookups (there is a laundry facility, or we can either rent them cheap/buy them, or we also have family who would be glad to have us visit once a week), It's in town and transportation is not an issue (working car, but complex is next to public transportation and shopping as well). Neither is age (they rent to 18+, we're going to be 21 by the time they allow us in there anyway). Electric is the only utility we would be expected to pay (excluding extras such as phone/internet/cable). Lease options are 6-month.

we live in low income housing and this is pissing me OFF? My hubby and I live in low income housing and I am four days overdue with baby number one. Everyone says I should be getting plenty of rest, but I can't bc our noisy neighbors keep blaring their music, banging on the walls, & when their kid screams/cries they just scream back at him to shutup & don't do anything. The worst thing is that the girl is my hubby's teenage cousin. She's usually at work, but she lets the Father of her kid stay there, invite friends over, blast his music, and mooches off of her. He isn't even supposed to be there bc when you live in this public housing you are not supposed to have a criminal record (he has had four convictions of posession of marijuana, two with posession of firearms, and one of assault and battery.) Yet she still lets them stay there. We reported them to housing authority but the caseworker said she needs a file of complaints (police reports) even though he is not supposed to be there. Isn't there anything we can do? Last time we reported the guy, the cops didn't even come and check out what was going on. We called bc the two were screaming at each other/fighting/ect and throwing stuff around. They never seem to STOP. We are getting so tired of this. It's not fair that we have to lose sleep and peace + quiet because of them. They are really inconsiderate (my hubby works nights, I feel so bad bc they blast their music morning, noon, and night) and he doesn't get to have any rest. Why aren't the police doing their job? a_bush_family_member - just bc we live in SECTION 8 housing doesn't mean we can't afford kids. That was an insult and I reported you. Next time refrain from being a snobby jackass thanks. I am in college (full time pre-med student) and he works as a receptionist at a firm here. Getting JOBS is not something that we need to worry about. Sometimes people just can't afford a big huge luxurious house to live in and rent around this area is sky high. A lot of you are really snobby and abortion is definitely out of the question.

Any links, information would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!
Why do they want to build low-income housing in Sunnyvale, Texas? The housing authority accuses Sunnyvale of being racist against minorities because they do not provide low income or multi-unit housing. Seems to me that the housing authority is implying that only minorities use low income housing and are incapable of mortgaging a home. Unless the town of Sunnyvale has a rule not allowing minorities to move there, or takes actions to make minorities who do live there uncomfortable than there is nothing racist about it. It just bugs me.. why do they want to ruin a nice town? And Sunnyvale is a small town, too, with large lots and low density housing. They aren't discriminating against anyone because of race! And if they did build multi-unit housing there, the DART line is nowhere close to Sunnyvale, and there is no industry there for these people to get jobs. What a joke! My family is buying a house in Sunnyvale, cause we can afford it. If we couldn't afford to move there we'd just go someplace else! And we are minorities, contradicting what the housing people think. Its not like there isn't low-income housing in other places. Sunnyvale is like 88% white, but its a growing town with lots of new homes.. so that number will probably change by next year. But I guess the poor people don't want to go to bad towns so are just trying to leech into good towns which are good cause there's none or a lot of low income housing. Just cuz they didnt do well in school doesn't mean they have to ruin it for the people who did (or people who had parents that did, like moi) there's low crime rates in sunnyvale too. imagine if we got low-income houses? that would definitely change.

How is low income housing not considered racist? Im trying to understand and maybe people can help get this through my head. In an area of Westchester,NY(that is predominately white) the government has decided to put affordable house in a hopes to raise the minority population in that area. Only minorities are going to get the houses. I know for a fact that their are poor white people who need affordable housing, why is not open to whites. Your segregating a group because they are not a minority, isn't that racist?

Can Grad Students Apply for Low Income Housing? I'm starting grad school this summer and will be going full-time for three years for my PhD in physical therapy in Virginia Beach.

I think its a fair question.
Do you think federal funds should be used NOW to build "low income housing?"? There is already plenty of housing on the market, and much of it is for sale for a price considerably below the proposed sale price for the "low income housing." Also, the proposed sale price of the housing would be about one-third of the federal funds requested to build it. Wouldn't it make more economic sense to encourage the "low income" people to buy existing housing and give them help/incentives to do that?
How can a NYC college student get low income housing? I'm going to graduate school in NYC, supporting myself entirely. The tuition is very expensive, and I planned on living on loan throughout the 2 years, but it looks as if I won't be able to do that next year. I'll either have to find a way to live very cheap or quit school entirely. Are there any programs that assist with the high cost of living in NYC for people with very little income? I looked into section 8, but I don't think it's available if you are a student...

Does anyone receive disability (SSI), but does not qualify for low-income housing? I worked full time for 40 years and became disabled at age 53.
