Subsidized Housing Rentals
Subsidized rental developments offer
affordable rents to income-qualified
senior and handicapped and disabled
persons. Financial assistance is
available through a number of federal
programs. In many developments
residents pay approximately 30%
of their income for rent. In some
buildings a schedule is used; these
rents are lower than nonsubsidized
rents in that community.
Public Housing
Included in this section are separate
listings for public housing in Mpls.
and St. Paul. Public housing is
one type of subsidized housing in
which residents pay approximately
30% of their income for rent.
Public Housing in St. Paul
and Minneapolis
Public housing in St. Paul that is
“Designated as Senior Only” means it
is reserved for tenants that are 62 or
older. Public housing in Minneapolis
that is “Designated 55+” means
that this group is considered first for
residence. If the apartment is not filled
in a certain amount of time, younger
people are then considered. Look for
these designations in the grids under
the address of the complex.
Eligibility
There are certain criteria that must
be met to be eligible for subsidized
housing. The maximum allowable
income is determined by federally
mandated eligibility income limits.
These are determined and revised
annually by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). Contact HUD directly for
this year’s income limits. Most
developments are designated as
having Very Low-Income (VLI)
limits, Low-Income (LI) limits or
Extremely Low Income (XLI) limits.
Eligibility income limits are noted
for each listing.
Most of the listed buildings require
applicants to be at least 62 years
old, handicapped, or disabled.
Some listings allow a wide range
of age groups as residents but are
included in this section because of
the large number of seniors living
in the complexes. You will need to
check with these developments
to find out their specific entrance
requirements.
Waiting Lists
Most of the developments have
waiting lists. It is important to plan
ahead and contact buildings of
your choice, or the appropriate
housing authority, to get your
name on the waiting list. There are
no restrictions to being on several
