How rent is calculated

HUD pays the property the difference between that household contribution and the negotiated contract rent. Income limits are set annually by HUD based on the local Area Median Income (AMI).
How to apply for housing in Atlantic City
Each property keeps its own waitlist, separate from your local Public Housing Agency’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher list. Practical steps:
- Call the on-site management number listed for each property below to ask whether the waitlist is open and how to apply.
