Same home. Same finishes. Rent that fits your income.

Teachers, nurses, tradespeople and first responders keep our towns running. They deserve a great home too.
Who it's for

Room to grow, at a rent that fits.

This program is designed for households that earn too much for traditional subsidized housing, but too little to comfortably afford market-rate rent. Income Qualified Housing puts a single-family home within reach, with rent set by the income limits for your area.
