How much is rent?
Our rental rates are set by federal law. Rent is based on your income, adjusted to allow for dependents, utilities, medical deductions (for elderly/disabled/handicap only) and other items. If your income goes up or down, so will your rent.
The Housing Authority Board of Commissioners has approved the use of FLAT RENTS for qualified residents. If you do qualify, you may choose between the flat rent or stay with the traditional calculation (30% of adjusted gross income).

pET VS. animal
What is a pet vs. an animal?
With many variables, it can be hard to explain breifly the difference betwen pets and service or assitance/therapy/emotional support animals. If you have questions please contact us for guidance.
Pets are defined in our pet policy. Cats, dogs, birds, fish, small animals (like hamsters and gerbils) are approved pets that require pet deposits.
Service animals are to provide a skill to disabled/handicap persons AND have had formal training to do so. Common examples are animals to assist blind people, animals trained to detect oncoming seizures, or animals trained to retreive medication. These animals will require documentation, cannot be human or other animal agressive, and do not require a deposit (although the tenant will still be responsible for damages if any).
Emotional support, therapy animals, or assistance animals are terms used interchangibly for animals that provide comfort to disabled persons BUT do NOT require formal training. These animals will still require documentation from a licesned professional (such as doctor, therapist, etc.) and can not be human or other animal agressive. These animals also do not require a deposit as long as proper documents have been provided.
