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. Are full-time grad students eligible for low income housing? I was just curious. No need to write "get a damn job". I will most likely go to school from 8am to 5pm, go home, study for 3+ hours, then go to work at night. I was just wondering if there any government programs for grad students. I think its a fair question.

1. Usually full time students are excluded from low income housing because every student would be low income. Then low income housing would be full of students instead of low income families.
2. since families with children need housing I think you should buck up and get a damn job while you are studying. I doubt if you are eligible. You chose to be poor. Circumstances did not put you there.
3. Yes you can get low-income housing...As long as your income doesn't go over the income guide lines. No income, better chances of getting more assistance. Your status in school shouldn't matter. Just try it and see, couldn't hurt.
