About This Building

Housing Assistance Programs in Aurora Low Rent Public Housing Aurora Housing Authority provides housing assistance to those with low income through various programs. One of these programs is the Low Rent Public Housing, which aims to help low income residents find affordable housing options. The eligibility guidelines for this program are determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8 Another program offered by Aurora Housing Authority is the Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8. This program also targets low income individuals and families who need assistance in securing safe and affordable housing. Similar to the Low Rent Public Housing program, eligibility for Section 8 vouchers is based on income and determined by HUD. Waiting Lists and Application Procedures Due to the high demand for housing assistance, there may be waiting lists for both the vouchers and rentals. At times, these waiting lists may close temporarily to new applicants based on their length and the number of applicants. Therefore, it is advisable to contact the Housing Authority directly to obtain accurate information on eligibility requirements, availability of rentals or vouchers, the status of any waiting lists, and the application procedures. Current Waiting List Status (August 2011) As of August 2011, the HCV - Section 8 waiting list was closed, indicating that no new applicants were being accepted at that time. However, the waiting list for 1, 4, and 5 bedroom Public Housing was open for new applicants. Meanwhile, the waiting list for 2 and 3 bedroom Public Housing was closed.
