Rental Rates and Income Limits
The Military and Veterans Campus Housing is a “mixed income” affordable housing property and is made up of units designated for households with incomes limited to 30%, 60% and 80% of the Franklin, NH Area Median Income, as published by HUD on an annual basis.
Rental rates include heat, hot water, electricity and air conditioning.
All apartment rental rates have been set below the maximum rental rates that are permitted to be charged in accordance with the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program. With that in mind; however, even though a household’s income may be within the maximum income limit, they may not have sufficient income to afford the rent. We consider a rent that is more than 40% of household gross monthly income to be too much of a rent burden. If a household’s anticipated rent will exceed 40% of monthly gross household income the household will not eligible for occupancy.
If you have a Housing Choice Voucher (which we accept), your household income will not be used as a factor for eligibility.
