How do I know if I am eligible?

• Federal Public Housing Assistance (NPHA)
• Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit

Individuals are also eligible if they live in a household with income less than 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.  The guideline is based on your household size and state.
 
Are there any restrictions?
