11,005 Subsidized housing for elderly + disabled nationwide
HUD-subsidized supportive housing provides affordable apartments with services for low-income seniors (Section 202, age 62+) and persons with disabilities (Section 811). Rent is typically set at 30% of adjusted household income. Income limits apply (usually ≤50% area median income for Section 202, ≤30% AMI for Section 811). Properties may offer service coordination, meal programs, transportation, and case management. Apply directly to each property; waiting lists are common and can be 6 months to 5 years. Some PRAC (Project Rental Assistance Contract) properties include on-site service coordinators who connect residents to SNAP, Medicare, and meals on wheels.
