See If You Qualify in 30 Seconds

Qualification is based on total household income and size. You can use our eligibility checker above to see what housing options you qualify for.

AMI stands for Area Median Income, which is the average income for your area. Your eligibility is based on how your income compares to that number. Depending on where you fall compared to the averages, you will be qualified to apply for different units within a specific rent range.

No. Many programs are designed for moderate-income households. You may qualify even with a full-time job.

The application process can be more detailed than a standard lease to ensure that these homes remain affordable long-term. The information you provide helps us determine which units you qualify for and what housing is best suited to your budget and lifestyle. Our team is here to help you through the process!

Yes, most programs require annual income recertification when you are going to renew or resign your lease. Rents are set based on program guidelines and may be adjusted over time with income recertification or program limits.

No. Section 8 refers to a program that subsidizes housing costs, not a particular type of development. Most Solidago communities are LIHTC (tax credit) properties, which are different from Section 8. Some of our residents may use housing vouchers, but many do not, and all applicants go through the same thorough qualification process.

Absolutely not. Working families, individuals with steady employment, retirees on fixed income, and others all commonly qualify.

Income is verified at the time of move-in and at annual recertification. If your income changes over time, you can speak with your leasing team. The rules around income increases vary by property and program type.

Yes. In addition to maximum income limits, most communities require that your income is sufficient to afford the rent. Our team will review both floors and ceilings with you during the application process.

Generally, yes. The combined incomes of all adult household members are reviewed. There are some exceptions (such as for full-time, live-in caregivers). Our leasing team can clarify what applies to your situation.

Yes. Self-employment income counts and can be documented through tax returns, profit/loss statements, or bank statements. Our team can help you gather the right documentation.

Your household size is the total number of people who will be living in your apartment, including yourself. This includes spouses or partners, children, and any other adults who will occupy the unit full-time. Household size matters because income limits are adjusted for larger families, meaning a bigger household can qualify at a higher income level than a smaller one. If you're unsure whether a family member counts toward your household size, our leasing team is happy to help you think through it before you apply.

Each of our communities has a maximum income limit based on its specific financing program and the local Area Median Income (AMI). If your household income exceeds the limit for a particular property, you would not be eligible for that community, but that doesn't mean there isn't a fit for you within our portfolio. We encourage you to reach out to our leasing team, who can help you identify which Solidago communities may be the right match for your income level.
