Are you an Alabama resident wondering if you and your family qualify for affordable housing?

In Alabama, any housing assistance you might qualify for is largely determined on where your income falls in comparison with the area median income (AMI). For example, if your household makes around 30 percent of the AMI, it is very likely that you will qualify for a federally funded housing voucher program. Make more than 30 percent AMI? Households with incomes as high as 80 percent AMI can usually qualify for income-restricted rentals, such as the ones offered by Olympia Management.

Alabama’s primary affordable housing program is the federally funded Housing Choice Voucher Program. To apply for the Housing Choice Voucher Program in Alabama, you must visit a Public Housing Agency (PHA) in your area. A list of PHA offices in Alabama can be found on the HUD website — select “Alabama” and you will be redirected to a list of contact information of all Alabama PHA offices. If you apply at a PHA with an extremely long waiting list, HUD recommends submitting an application at more than one PHA office.
