What is HUD Public Housing Program?

Public housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income
families. Public housing comes in all sizes and types, from scattered single family houses to highrise
apartments for elderly families.

Who is eligible for HUD Public Housing Program?

Public housing is limited to low-income families and individuals and eligibility is based on annual gross income and U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status. If you are eligible, a public housing agency will check your references to make sure you and your family will be good tenants. Any applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other tenants or on the project's environment will be denied.
