Low-Income Apartment FAQs
LIHTC apartments are privately owned communities built with the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. In exchange for the credit, owners must reserve units for lower-income households at restricted rents, generally for households earning around 60% of the area median income or less.
Unlike Section 8, you apply directly to the property, not to a housing authority. Contact the community, ask whether income-restricted units are available, and request their application. Each property verifies income against its own limits.
No. Tax-credit apartments have reduced, restricted rents but usually no ongoing subsidy tied to your income. Section 8 vouchers pay part of your rent each month. You can often use a Section 8 voucher at a LIHTC property, combining both programs.
