Low Income Senior Housing & Senior Citizen Housing
Public housing or Section 8 is a low-income housing complex that is managed by the HUD. This type of housing is available only to low-income applicants including families, seniors, and those with a disability. If you are a senior, you are most likely going to be placed in a senior low-income Section 8 apartment.

Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly – as implied by its name, Section 202 is the most appropriate option for the elderly as the units are designed to accommodate elderly individuals’ physical challenges. Care and supportive services, such as meals, housecleaning, and transportation are available at these residences.

Housing Choice Voucher Program – currently abbreviated as HCVP, and formerly referred to as Section 8, this option provides vouchers that can be used at a multitude of public housing properties. It is more appropriate for elderly individuals because the participant has greater flexibility to choose a unit that works for their abilities. Additionally, this program is the largest of the three and therefore has a greater likelihood of having open spots for new participants.
Project-Based Rental Assistance

Public Housing – of the three, this option is the least relevant to elderly or frail individuals who require both housing and assistance. No care assistance is available, nor are the residences designed with the intent of accommodating frail, elderly persons. This may be an option for those seniors who can live independently, and if availability allows, for choice of housing units.

Low Income Senior Housing LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT (LIHTC)- Only individuals 62 or older are eligible for low income senior housing. Applicants must also have an income of less than 50% of the median income for their area. Housing is mainly provided to elderly persons that require daily assistance with living or need regular caretaking. Seniors must pay up to 30% of the rent for their unit.

Cooperative Housing or “co-op” is a type of residential housing option that is actually a corporation whereby the owners do not own their units outright. Instead, each resident is a shareholder in the corporation based in part on the relative size of the unit that they live in.

    Born and raised in NYC. Just turned 65. Looking for "what’s next". Would love to stay in, or close to NYC but don’t want all the "action". I’m in good shape and healthy. Want to move where people care about each other. Where neighbors are neighborly but respect each others space. A place where there’s more of nature than concrete.

    My parents are now both retired and want to get public assistant living based off their retirement income because it’s not much is that something they can do through section 8 as far as getting approved and living through that system with what they make even though it’s not a lot?

    Hi you are well deserving of $40. I’m a SSDI recipient. I’m frugal with money. If you offer consultation for California housing, I will consider.

    I’m a 67 yo disabled veteran living in a old broken down motorhome. I currently live in NY on Long Island but planning to move to Ocala, FL after surgery at the VA Hospital in Northport, NY. I qualify for a VA guaranteed mortgage and the $40,000 VA grant. Are you familiar with this stuff and are you familiar with Ocala, Florida and Florida’s programs? I think for me a townhouse or condo would be best. My only income is Social Security.
