What is the difference between Public Housing, Section 8 and 202/8 Multifamily programs?

Public Housing is managed by local Housing Authorities. Individuals on the Public Housing Program are assigned a unit owned and operated by the local authority.

The Section 8 Voucher Program allows the recipient the ability to locate their own affordable housing across the city.

The 202/8 Multifamily Program is apartments designed for elderly/disabled applicants who are 62 years of age or older.

What income requirements do I have to meet in order to be determined eligible for assistance?

HUD establishes income limits and revises them annually to ensure that federal rental assistance is provided only to low-income families (80% of median income). The income limits are based on median income of the geographic area for which the limit is established, and are adjusted for family size.
