Senior Action Network (SAN): Empowering Seniors to Influence Public Policy Waiting Lists: A Challenge for Low-Income Housing Securing affordable housing can be a daunting task, particularly for seniors with limited resources. Many low-income apartments maintain waiting lists that can span several years before an opening becomes available. To improve your chances, it is advisable to place your name on multiple waiting lists. Direct Contact is Key At SAN, we believe in empowering seniors through direct action. We provide you with the essential phone numbers and websites of the desired apartments. Take the initiative and call them directly to inquire about openings or the status of their waiting lists. Apartment Rates: Determined by Income Understanding the apartment rates is critical in your search for affordable housing. While many listing pages showcase current rates, it is important to note that most HUD listings do not publish their rates. Instead, these rates are calculated based on 30% of the renters' adjustable gross income. To determine if you qualify for income-based rent, it is essential to contact the respective apartments. SAN is here to support you in your pursuit of accessible and affordable housing. Reach out to us for further assistance and information. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of seniors and their communities.
