Thank you for your interest in choosing a Catholic Charities Senior Housing Community. We offer two types of apartment settings which differ by funding source and income requirements—HUD Rent Assisted Housing and Tax Credit Properties.

Income Eligibility

Your gross income is an essential factor to qualifying you for residency in any of our communities. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets the income limits. The established maximum annual income limits (per household) are:

All HUD properties except Starner Hill: $30,000 for one person and $34,250 for two persons
Starner Hill: $26,700 for one person and $30,500 for two persons
Tax Credit*: $36,000 for one person and $41,100 for two persons
*Tax Credit Properties also have a minimum annual income to qualify. Our Tax Credit Communities are Everall Gardens, Kessler Park and St. Mark's Apartments.

In HUD properties, residents pay 30% of their adjusted gross income in rent. In tax credit properties, residents’ rent is based on the apartment type regardless of individual income.

Age Eligibility

An applicant must be 62 years old or older at the time of application to apply to all but five of Catholic Charities’ buildings. The five buildings that accept non-elderly disabled persons* are Basilica Place, Coursey Station, DePaul House, Starner Hill and St. Charles.
*non-elderly disabled persons are persons that qualify for units specifically designed for physically handicapped or mobility impaired persons under the age of 62 years old.

Application Instructions

The application must be filled out entirely and accurately. Include all information for each intended tenant and co-tenant. If a section on the application does not apply to your household, write NONE or N/A for that question. All applicants and co-tenants need to sign their full name on the last page of the application.

Supplement To Application For Federally Assisted Housing

As part of your application, you have the right to include information on a contact person. The contact information is for the purpose of identifying a person or organization that may be able to help in resolving issues or provide special care or services to you during your tenancy. Please indicate that you do not wish to list a contact person by placing a check mark in the appropriate box. All forms must be signed and dated.
