When I was an apartment manager I had seniors living there who could no longer afford the rising rents.  They had to leave the apartment they loved and look for senior low-income housing.  They applied for help at their local HUD office or county aging departments.  We hated to see them go but they were very happy when they found an apartment they could afford and liked.

Especially aging seniors  may find their  income has decreased and these very low or low-rent communities are needed. There may also be other qualifications other than income limits.

Either the community will be federally-assisted HUD apartments or affordable housing by private investors.   Both have income, age and other restrictions.  To apply call or go to your local Housing Authority or county aging department.
