Grant Mission Statement
The federal and state governments provide rental assistance to low-income older adults. This is primarily through affordable housing (public housing) or various housing voucher programs.
Such assistance, even provided by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is normally administered through local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs).
Affordable Housing Basics
Affordable housing is available to low-income families, including those that qualify as elderly or disabled. It can include apartments or even single-family homes.
Tenants typically will not pay more than 30% of their monthly income for rent in an affordable housing unit. Such housing is owned and operated by local PHAs that receive federal government funding.
To be eligible for affordable housing, someone must:
Be 64 or older
The OFFICE OF CITIZENS CONCERNS HEADQUARTER (OOCCH) does not provide housing. OOCCH is not a housing provider.
Given their specific housing needs and the general increase in housing costs, older adults often face challenges in locating adequate housing they can afford. For those 64 or older, many low-income households cannot afford their housing and cannot live in inadequate housing.
To maintain adequate housing, older adults are often forced to make significant tradeoffs with their food, transportation, or medical expenses.
Fortunately, several resources are available to assist older adults in locating affordable housing that meets their needs. One resource is older adult rental assistance programs.
