Examples of affordable housing programs
Some examples of affordable housing options include:
- HUD-subsidized communities

- Rural development communities
Income and age guidelines apply to each type of these affordable housing communities, which may vary by location and program.
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.

In these communities, we strive to provide safe, clean and affordable housing to those who qualify for programs specific to that location.
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
Our community is located in Idaho’s capital city of Boise, just minutes away from the V.A. Hospital, St. Luke’s Medical Center and Boise State University. It is only a short distance to our public library, bowling alley, shopping center and bus line.
Beautifully landscaped grounds, newly remodeled apartments and great neighbors will welcome you home.
Finding an apartment where you can enjoy comfortable surroundings and the companionship of caring neighbors may only sound like a dream, but that dream can be a reality at Samaritan Village Apartments.
Each apartment is private, offering the opportunity to come and go as you please. But with friends and neighbors close by in our two 50-unit communities, you’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy as much companionship as you choose.
Residents are encouraged to plan activities and outings to develop new friendships. Two community rooms, a dining room and three reading / game areas are available for you to use to socialize with friends and family.
We have transportation available every other week for shopping trips and we provide major appliances and pay water, garbage and sewer.
Our service coordinator is available to assist you with services that you may want or need.
