Affordable housing no subsidy

[GiCar 0]

 

Hi guys i was looking at apartments for rent and one apartment had this as their pricing plans. Would anoyone know if living here cause an issue with my AOS or put me as being on housing welfare? We are not going to be using any  vouchers or goverment aide.

I wouldn’t think so.

 

The apartments aren’t subsidized, as they say. You’d still need a minimum income of of $1,311 to be eligible and that’s only for a studio, from what it looks like.
 

Subsidized housing is government assistance, like Section 8. The things USCIS considers for housing and the new public charge rule is:

• Section 8 Housing Assistance under the Housing Choice Voucher Program  

• Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (including Moderate Rehabilitation)   

• Public Housing under section 9 the Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.  

Public housing is government owned. Thus, it would most certainly be subsidized.

If you were using the Housing Choice Voucher, you’d literally have a voucher saying what you qualify for so you can look for housing. 

 

For Project Based assistance under Section 8, you would specifically apply for it and join a waiting list that is often long. It is often for people with extremely low income who can only pay 30%ish of their rent and the rest is covered for them, as mentioned in your picture (PBV - project based voucher). 
 

Tax credits aren’t considered with the new public charge rule. Not that you’d possibly have a way to know anyway, but the Low Income Housing Tax Credits (helps a lot of newly constructed affordable housing) administered by the IRS doesn’t count.

Like the link says, just be careful of states naming federal benefits under different names and check into any benefit if you ever need one.
