Answer 1

Try your local Housing Authority or www.HUD.gov.
HUD has lists of public housing that is available in your area.
Your local housing authority will also carry this list.
Some might require a Section 8 voucher, while others may be based solely on income. Just be aware if you need a Section 8 voucher, there's usually a looong waiting list.
You might also try your local Social & Rehabilitation Services (SRS). You never know you might qualify for assistance.

Keep your head up!

Answer 2

The properties u r looking for r generally city run program properties, not to be confused with sec 8. To live on a city run property u must meet the monthly income ratio, in other words u cannot make to much, or to little. It really would be easiest to use a apt.locator there is no charge to u, and they have all the listings, give them all ur info area u want, and let them know u r looking for a rent controlled property for lower income housing. This should do it good luck and happy holidays, p.s. call the county also.
