Low Income Housing: where you can rent affordable apartment throughout all countries worldwide

Looking for affordable or low-income housing? Our guide can help you by offering full search capability through many property listings of subsidized or rent-restricted affordable apartment communities throughout all countries worldwide.

"Affordable housing" is a broad term used to describe decent, safe housing, which is affordable for individuals who, generally, earn less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

The economic expansion of the 1990s obscured certain trends and statistics that point to an increased, not decreased, need for affordable housing. The generally accepted definition of affordability is for a household to pay no more than 30 percent of its annual income on housing. Families who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing are considered cost burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and medical care.

Owners, managers and agencies dedicated to providing affordable housing opportunities for low-income individuals, families, seniors or disabled persons, voluntarily list properties on our site. We show listings from a variety of government-funded sources where eligibility, income restrictions and rent restrictions keep the housing affordable to households below 80% of the area median income.

Also available are the basic criteria for determining the eligibility and rent level for a particular property. The government program in which the property is funded will determine the eligibility and criteria for that property. For each property that interests you, please check in the property description the Government Program under which the property is funded.

The rapidly rising housing prices are the main sign that we are in a massive housing bubble. Housing bubbles occur when housing prices overheat as they skyrocket, only to come crashing down for at least a decade to come.
