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.

Affordable Housing Tip

Negotiate Rent or Purchase Price

Don't hesitate to negotiate with landlords or sellers. Often, there is some flexibility in the price, especially if the property has been on the market for a while. Lowering the rent or purchase price even slightly can result in significant savings.
