Public Housing - Iowa

The family rents a public housing unit at a cost that is affordable. The family pays 30% of their adjusted income for rent. The apartment or house is operated by a Local Housing Authority. Rent is paid to the Housing Authority.

In order to receive this assistance the family applies to the Local Housing Authority in their community. The family usually needs to be very low income. The size of the public housing unit that a family may rent will depend on the size of the family applying. If an apartment or house is not available at the time of application the family will be put on a waiting list.

The rent the family pays is based on their adjusted income.* There are also several income exclusions, such as PASS and local job training programs. The family's portion of the rent is 30% of their adjusted income. The family is to report all increase in their income. If an increase in income is the result of income that is not part of an approved income exclusion the rent will increase unless they choose the Flat Rate option noted below.

*NOTE: There is now available a new Work Incentive option called a "Flat Rate." See Public Housing Flat Rate for an explanation.
