RENTAL

The rental portion of the City of Anaheim’s Affordable Housing Program consists of multifamily apartment complexes throughout the City that include affordable units. The City has agreements with the owners of these units to restrict rents at levels below regular market rent rates. Rents are typically established at 30% of a specified income level, and households must meet the income requirements (see below) for the project to qualify. This is not a rental subsidy program, such as the Section 8 program.

Project List

To be considered for a vacancy in an affordable unit within one of the projects listed below, you must first be placed on the Affordable Rental Housing Wait List. When an owner/manager notifies us of an affordable vacancy, a notice is mailed to eligible applicants on the list with the location of the project, who to contact, rent amount, and size of the unit. If you are interested in the unit, you must apply directly with the project.

          Senior Projects – Age restricted units, either at 55 or 62 years of age, depending on the project. 

          Family Projects – Larger units intended for families.

          Special Needs Projects – These units are targeted for individuals and families with special needs, 
          such as those that are currently homeless or diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.

Income Limits

Eligibility for an affordable housing unit is partially determined by meeting income requirements based on household size. The income of each household member 18 years of age and older must be verified by a third party, an employer or Social Security Administration, for example. Once approved, income will be certified on an annual basis by the owner/manager to ensure continued compliance.

The 2009 Income Guidelines for Orange County are listed below for your information. Please note income limits vary between and within projects, and the exact limit will be specified on the vacancy notices that are mailed out.
