Things You Need to Consider

5. Applicants who are under the age of 18 may apply as the head or co-head of household only if they are Emancipated Minors.
6. You will need to choose where you would like to live. We encourage you to visit the developments or sites of your interest so you may make informed decisions for locations you wish to apply. Visit the Housing Communities to learn about the public housing development descriptions and the Section 8 Project-Based and Moderate Rehabilitation site descriptions before making your housing choices.
