The Eligibility Requirements For HUD Housing

By Charles Rogers


Not everyone is blessed with a decent abode that will keep him or her safe from harsh weather and criminals. The government founded the HUD housing project that is responsible for providing suitable houses for those citizens that are needy. The housing authority has built many houses that are supposed to be assigned to the elderly, the low-income earners and people with disabilities. To be eligible for this program, there are requirements set up by the officials. These conditions are set up to keep away those who would want to get free housing unlawfully.

The program is supposed to help the needy people, so the first thing that the officials need to know is the income you earn monthly or annually. The low earning group is defined as those individuals who do not surpass at least eighty percent of the median of revenue collected by families who live in a certain area. They are grouped into three stages which are low-income earners, the very low-income people, and the extremely low-income earners. You have to be among these groups to qualify for the program.

The government has to know the number of family members that live in your home. You must provide your age, marital status among other things. This is important because if you are found deserving, they can be able to give you a house that will fit all the people you live with comfortably.

The citizenship of the individual is very necessary if you think of applying for housing. To be qualified for this process, an individual must be a citizen of the country. This is done to avoid getting applications from illegal immigrants or non-citizens who are not mentioned as an exceptional group in the constitution. If you are hosting a relative who is not eligible according to the constitution, you are also automatically disqualified.

The department is very strict about the social security number. Every family member must provide the documents showing that they have the number. If any of the people you live with have no documentation, you are automatically disqualified from this process. Children who are six years and below can be exempted of the parents show that the kids have never been assigned with the number.

Some forms are passed out to every family member who has attained the legal age of eighteen. They are called consent forms. The forms should be filled by those who are above that age including the family head and the spouse.

People who have criminal records are out of luck because they are not allowed to apply for this facilities no matter how needy they are. The department carries out a thorough criminal background check to ensure that you and the members of your family have clean records. The department liaise with the police, sex offenders registry, and the federal bureau of investigation to determine if you are clean or not.

The government gives help to those who work for more than twenty hours in a week. You should show that at least you are an industrious citizen who if given the chance can play a role in the economy of the country. You should not have very many debts that exceed the income you earn.
