Seeking Advice About Senior and Mixed-Age Affordable Housing
I'm writing on behalf of a TTN member who needs to identify senior and mixed-age affordable housing for people who have a higher threshold of annual income than the $32,500 annual income limit. Hers is $42,000 annual income.
Have any of you been in a similar situation -- where you have sought or are seeking senior and mixed-age affordable housing with a higher annual income than most of the affordable housing allows? If so, did you come across any affordable housing in the Bay Area where she might apply that has a higher limit, where she could meet the higher income limit?
What about some of the new affordable buildings that are cropping up? Do you have any knowledge about them and contact info?
For those of you who have "been there" or who are coping with this now in your life --
- What -- in your experience -- is the easiest way for researching these options?
- Any places that don't have long waiting lists?
- Also, if you have any other advice to offer that I can pass on to her -- that would be great.
This is a very stressful time for her, and I want to help as much as possible. Whatever insights, contact info, including my talking with you directly, will be very appreciated by both of us.
Many thanks,
Arlene Reiff
