How can you find listings of affordable housing?

The United States government provides lists of low-rent apartments across the country at HUD.gov. The owners of these apartments receive subsidies from the government to offer lower rents, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The homes are available to those below a specified income limit.

To find a list of low-rent apartments at hud.gov, select your state from the drop-down menu. Then, select the specific region in which you want to find low-rent housing. Choose the type of apartment and number of bedrooms, and click Next. A list of low-rent apartments in your area appears, with addresses and contact information.

Another possibility is Socialserve.com. On this website, it is possible to choose your region, specify what type of apartment you need, and give a number of preferences, explains SocialServe.com. You are then given a list of apartments with monthly rent and contact information. While this site may not cover all areas of the country, it contains more information about the apartments than HUD.gov. While the apartments listed on HUD.gov are only available to those below a certain income level, many of the apartments listed on Socialserve.com are available to all people, regardless of income level and circumstances.
