Rural Development Program
Eligibility
Before applicants are placed on the Project Waiting list, all applications are subject to a credit check and a criminal background check. This gives the Housing Authority a look into the potential tenant’s past, helping to reduce liability for the housing authority. Credit reports include lines of credit, collection accounts, bankruptcy processing and other public financial records. Income limits also play a major factor in eligibility for housing.
