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

Some affordable housing programs offer tax credits to property owners who provide lower rent for tenants. These units, known as Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartments, often have reduced rent rates for qualified tenants. Be sure to check if you qualify for these programs when searching for an affordable apartment.
