Low Income Public Housing is affordable housing that is owned and operated by Housing Daytona Beach. Nearly 70% percent of households in public housing are families with children. All residents must have incomes that do not exceed 80% percent of the area median income at the time of admission, and at least 40% percent of new public housing residents each year must be extremely low-income, with incomes that do not exceed the higher of 30% percent of the area median income or the federal poverty level. Residents generally make contributions toward rent and utilities equal to 30% percent of their income, their welfare shelter allowance, or a minimum rent established by the public housing agency of up to $50 (whichever is greatest). Alternatively, residents may choose to pay a flat rent that does not vary with income.

In order to receive housing assistance for these programs, the family must be income eligible. Income eligibility is defined in terms of area median income, adjusted for family size.

• Extremely low income describes a family at or below 30% of area median income.
• Very low income describes a family at or below 50% of area median income.
• Very low income describes a family at or below 50% of area median income.
• Low income describes a family at or below 80% of area median income.
• Moderate income describes a family at or below 120% of area median income (at or below 100% of median income for federal programs).

Interested persons can ONLY apply for housing when a notice appears to the public to do so. At this time, ALL WAITING LIST ARE CLOSED.
