Am I eligible for assisted housing?

All applicants must have an annual gross household income which is less than the federally published limit.  Income limits do change annually.  All applicants must pass background check prior to admission.

What if I have substantial assets in savings, stocks or bonds?

When determining eligibility, we count all sources of income, such as wages, social secutiry, pensions, disability compensation, etc.  We count only the interest from assets in stocks, bonds, savings, etc.

What if I sell my home?

Your home is considered an asset.  When you sell it, we require a settlement sheet that shows the selling price of the home, and related expenses, such as broker fees, taxes, unpaid mortgage balances, etc.  We subtract these from the sale price to arrive at the actual asset value.  You may invest your assets as you choose.

May I have a pet?

Yes.  A small pet is allowed but requires a pet deposit.  The pet must be neutered or spayed, up-to-date with its shots, and licensed with the Village of Reedsville.  Permission must be granted by the Housing Authority before acquiring the pet and additional responsibilities will be addressed at that time.

Do I have to pay a Security Deposit?

Yes.  A security deposit equal to one month’s rent is needed to secure apartment.
