Eligibility & rent calculation

Eligibility is income-based: most assisted households earn at or below 50% of the local Area Median Income, and rent is calculated at roughly 30% of adjusted monthly income. HUD updates income limits annually for every metropolitan area and county in the country — you can look up the current figures on HUD User’s Income Limits page. In practice, the rent calculation works like this: HUD takes your gross household income, subtracts allowances for dependents, elderly or disabled household members, child care, and certain medical expenses to arrive at adjusted income. You pay 30% of that adjusted figure each month, and HUD pays the property the rest of the contracted rent.

Most recent HUD REAC physical inspection score on file: 95, last inspected 2024-12-17. REAC scores range from 0–100; properties scoring under 60 receive additional HUD oversight and follow-up inspections.

Applying & the waitlist

Most HUD-assisted properties operate their own waitlist, separate from the local Public Housing Agency’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher list. To apply at CATHERINE SHERIDAN HOUSES:

  • Call the on-site management office and ask whether the waitlist is currently open. Some properties open the list only briefly each year.
  • If the list is closed, ask when it last opened, when it is expected to reopen, and whether they keep a notification list for future openings.
  • Have basic household information ready: number of household members and their ages, total annual household income, and any preferences you may qualify for (veteran, displaced, working, elderly, disabled, or homeless).
  • Bring identification, Social Security cards or numbers for all household members, and the most recent income documentation (pay stubs, benefits letters, tax returns) when you submit an application.

If the waitlist at CATHERINE SHERIDAN HOUSES is closed or the wait is long, also apply for a Housing Choice Voucher through your local Public Housing Agency — see our step-by-step Section 8 application guide — and consider nearby cities in New York. You can also review our eligibility checklist and tenant rights primer before you call.
