Considering affordable housing?
To find out if you qualify and get a jump on finding a home, here are some tips:
- Don’t assume you don’t qualify. Affordable housing eligibility is based on income, not assets.
- Get in touch with communities through good-sam.com to find out if you are eligible.
- It’s never too early to start looking. Most affordable housing locations have a waiting list. Start checking things out now to see what is available in your area.
- Be flexible. If you are willing to relocate, your chances to get in sooner may increase.
- Once you have found a location that meets your needs, get on the waiting list. There are preliminary eligibility requirements so you'll want to call us for details.

You’ll have a private apartment that is yours to furnish as you like, and access to community common areas for events and gatherings.
Many of our affordable housing options are part of a larger Good Samaritan Society campus, where additional care options and housing are available, if needed.
Lifestyle
Along with affordable rent comes some things money can’t buy.
You may be a senior with low to moderate income, but you can have a comfortable place to call home and become part of a caring community.
The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society makes it a reality with our affordable senior apartment communities. Seniors living on limited income within HUD guidelines, will pay only about 30 percent of their income to live in one of our apartments. Living in one of our maintenance-free apartments, you can come and go as you please and enjoy as much companionship with your neighbors as you like.
