Athens Georgia Housing Authority

Athens Georgia Housing Authority Apartment Details

Although many housing authorities manage the Section 8 Program in their communities, the Athens Housing Authority does not.

The Athens housing authority does provide Public Housing. 

There are a few steps to help us serve you to determine if you qualify for an apartment.  Please review the following criteria to see if you are eligible:
    Be a family as defined in the Athens Housing Authority's Admission and Continued Occupancy Policy (ACOP) or as superseded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations.
    Meet the HUD requirements for citizenship and immigration status. Housing assistance is available only to individuals who are U.S. citizens, nationals, or noncitizens that have eligible immigrations status.  At least one family member must be a citizen, national, or noncitizen with eligible immigration status in order for the family to qualify for any level of assistance.

Important information
Waiting Lists
Most low income apartments have waiting lists. Some of these lists can take years until you can be called for openings. The key is to try to get on as many waiting lists as possible.

Call The Apartments Directly
We provide phone numbers and websites. Call the apartments directly if they have openings or open waiting lists.

Apartment Rates
We provide current apartment rates on many listing pages. Most HUD listings do not have published rates. They are based on 30% of the renters adjustable gross income. You will need to contact the apartments to determine if you qualify for income based rent.
