Affordable housing

Your income doesn't have to limit how you live your life.
Affordable (income based) housing encompasses all types of housing communities where either some type of financial assistance is available or the rents are controlled for those who live there. Some examples are HUD Section 202/8, tax credit and rural development communities. Most of our affordable housing communities are senior properties with various age restrictions and some age exceptions for disabled residents.
You may be a person with low to moderate income, but you can have a comfortable place to call home. You’ll have a chance to make new friends, see and do new things and become part of a caring community, all on the most affordable of terms. The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society makes it a reality with our affordable senior apartment communities.
If you’re paying more than 30 percent of your income on housing, you’re paying too much. In most of our affordable housing communities, if you are a senior 62 years of age or older, living on limited income within HUD guidelines, you will pay only about 30 percent of your income to live in one of our apartments.
