The Rochester Housing Authority is committed to serving eligible applicants and will not discriminate against any person on the grounds of age, race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, sexual orientation, marital status, or physical or mental disability. |
Rochester Housing Authority provides quality housing for those with limited incomes. Our rents are subsidized with federal money from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) so that those with limited incomes can live in quality housing. Therefore, income limits do apply for those wishing to live within a Rochester Housing Authority property.
The Income Limits vary based on the specific RHA property; therefore the amounts listed below are the maximum amounts, in general.

PUBLIC HOUSING APARTMENT CRITERIA FOR RESIDENCY
Thank you for applying to rent one of our public housing apartments. We want each resident’s stay to be a positive experience. We work with our residents to keep our apartments safe and livable. That effort begins with our screening process.
Overall, for eligible applicants, it works like this: unless members of your household have engaged in serious criminal behavior, disturbed the peace at past residences, or otherwise not respected rental rules, chances are good that you’ll find a home in one of our communities.
We are committed to Fair Housing and follow the laws of Equal Opportunity Housing, the Fair Housing Act, and the Violence Against Women Act. After reviewing the criteria, please ask any questions and tell us if you need a reasonable accommodation.
If you believe you do not meet the requirements, please discuss it with us. If you don’t meet the criteria because you are or have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking we need to know that too. We can’t promise a solution, but we definitely cannot help unless you ask.
