Who can apply

This program serves low-income families and individuals who meet HUD income limits for the Tennessee area (generally at or below 50% of area median income; many buildings prioritize 30%).

How to apply

1. Call the building at 901-236-7299 (managed by Elmington Living LLC) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the Memphis Housing Authority (MHA) Section 8 voucher list.
3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.

Your rights

Tennessee has no statewide source-of-income protection and private landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program is generally voluntary. The City of Memphis Fair Housing Ordinance has been described as covering source of income, but sources conflict on whether it requires landlords to accept vouchers — renters should verify current local protections with the City of Memphis or a legal aid provider before relying on them
