Section 8 and Section 202 properties provide federally supported affordable housing for qualifying older adults and low-income households. Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly is specifically designed for older adults, while Section 8 assistance may be offered through subsidized properties or rental assistance programs. Depending on the program, a resident’s portion of the rent may be based on household income. Eligibility requirements, age limits, income limits, waiting lists, and application procedures vary by property and program.
