How qualifying works

You apply like any other renter: application, screening, deposit. The community then verifies your household income against the program tier for the home you want, usually with pay stubs or tax documents, which can add a few days. Earn over the cap and the application is denied, so check the numbers above honestly first. Earn under it and you get some of the newest buildings in the city at prices set by the program, many of them Class A communities.

Hold a Section 8 voucher? Voucher holders usually fall under these income caps. See the communities in Northeast that accept vouchers.
