33 subsidized & affordable buildings
These buildings have federal rent subsidies attached to the unit — you apply to the building directly and pay about 30% of your income. Most keep their own waiting list, separate from the housing authority's voucher list. Tax-credit buildings are different: their rents are capped based on area income, not set at 30% of your income — contact the management office for current rents.
