Each program has its own eligibility requirements and application process, so it is important to do your research to find the program that is right for you.
  • 2. Get all of your documentation in order: When you apply for low income housing, you will need to provide documentation of your income, assets, and household composition. This documentation may include tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and birth certificates.
  • 3. Be careful and accurate on all information provided: Any false or misleading information on your application will most likely result in your disqualification.
  • 4. Waiting Lists: The waiting lists for most, if not all low-income housing programs is long. Do not limit yourself to only apply to one apartment location.

    Hi. I have been on the waiting list here for 4 -5 years , i am born & raised in delaware. In 2016 my father passed away ultimately leaving a few of us daughters without a home including my then 15 year old daughter. I had already applied for this program even before he passed. Finally in 2019 my name came up , i'm disabled as well, mind you & still trying to get a place of my own i had an interview with my daughter & wouldn't you know the lady who had been handling my case all that time up & quit!!!! I was then i guess no where because i was made to start all over again!!!! Are you serious? Now , because i'm living in md , i have no choice of course i still kept my de. License because i was always planning to go home, they sent me a letter saying people who live & work in de come first. Oh. Well, haven't i already gone through enough hoops? I am a delaware resident!!!!! I'm simply waiting for someone to do the right thing.

Apartment Checklist
Check For Waiting Lists
Most apartments have waiting lists. Search early and do not just settle on one apartment choice.

Contact Your Local Housing Authority
Housing authorities have many opportunities. Many do have closed waiting lists, but they may be able to provide other public housing resources.

Check The Federal Poverty Sliding Scale Guidelines
Check to see if you qualify for low cost or free housing by comparing the guidelines to your income records.
