Affordable Housing Rentals
What is Affordable Housing?
Affordable housing in Arizona means that the cost of your home, including rent and basic utilities like water and electricity, should be low enough that you can still afford other important things such as food, transportation, and healthcare. In most cases, this means you pay no more than 30% of the money your household earns each month for your housing. Affordable housing is often meant for people and families who earn less than the average income in the area, called the Area Median Income (AMI).
Some programs are designed to help people who earn much less than that by keeping rents lower through government assistance. This helps make sure more people have a safe, comfortable place to live that fits their budget.
On our website, you can search to find affordable homes and apartments in Arizona that may be right for you.
Housing with Affordable Rents
Low Income Housing
Low-income housing includes homes and apartments that keep rent affordable for people and families with limited income. This category includes LIHTC and Non-LIHTC housing. Both housing types help tenants pay about 30% of what they earn for rent and utilities, making it easier to afford a place to live.
Project-Based Vouchers
Project-based vouchers help low-income people and families pay for rent. To qualify, you usually need to earn less than 50% to 80% of the average income in your area. You must be a U.S. citizen or have legal status. You’ll also need to live in the assigned home for at least a year. With this help, you pay about 30% of your income for rent and utilities, and the voucher covers the rest.
Low Income Senior Housing
Low-income housing for seniors in Arizona helps older adults find apartments or homes with rent they can afford. To qualify, you usually need to be age 55 or older and have an income that’s less than about 80% of the average income in your area. Many programs also require you to be a U.S. citizen or have legal status. If you qualify and find a place, you usually pay around 30% of your income for rent and utilities.
Chronically Homeless
Homeless housing is for people who don’t have a safe, stable place to sleep at night. To qualify for permanent supportive housing in these communities, you must be chronically homeless with preference given to people who also have a disability. With this help, you only pay about 30% of your income for rent and utilities, and the rest is covered giving the support you need.
Homeless Veterans
Housing for veterans who don’t have a safe, stable place to sleep at night. To qualify for permanent supportive housing in these communities, you must be a chronically homeless veteran with preference given to people who also have a disability. With this help, you only pay about 30% of your income for rent and utilities, and the rest is covered giving the support you need.
