Find a Low Income, Rent Assisted, Affordable or Section 8 Apartment

In cities where rent control exists, you may find apartments with caps on rent increases, providing long-term affordability. Rent-controlled units help tenants avoid significant rent hikes, making them a great option for those planning to stay in one place for several years. Do some research to see if rent control applies in the area you’re looking to rent.

Affordable Housing Tip

Participate in Cooperative Housing

Cooperative housing involves a group of people owning and managing a property together. This can often be cheaper than traditional homeownership or renting. Co-ops also provide a supportive community environment.
