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

Seek Community Land Trusts

Community Land Trusts hold land for community benefit and offer affordable homeownership opportunities. By separating the ownership of the land from the house, they can significantly reduce costs. Look for such trusts in your area for potential housing solutions.
