Do I Qualify ?

Affordable housing typically means housing that is reasonably priced for individuals and families with low to moderate incomes.  This kind of housing is essential to ensure that persons at various income levels have access to safe, stable, and decent living conditions without having to spend too much of their income on housing. Affordable housing programs have limits to household income and rent.

Henderson Place offers sixty (60) apartment homes for households under 60% of Area Median Income and six (6) apartment homes for households under 50% of Area Median Income. There are some apartments reserved for households that have been displaced during construction. The remaining apartments are available to members of the general public.
