Income based rent is determined by Federal Regulation and based on the adjusted income of the household, less any authorized deductions.

Flat Rate rent is a term that means the maximum that someone will pay for rent. Flat rent reflects more of what competitive non-subsidized markers in the area offer. There are times that paying the Counties HUD issued Flat rent amount will be cheaper than paying the 30% of the applicants monthly income. This can only be determined at move in and annual recertification’s.

Regulations are set by HUD to determine a family’s rent. Other fees be applied and are in place based on policies the Board of Commissioners has enacted. Normally payment is no more than 30% of the applicants monthly adjusted income for rent and utilities. Because of the complexity of rent calculation, the rent amount a family will pay is determined after an offer for a specific apartment is accepted.

You must bring all required documentation with your application. Applicants needs to have:

1- Birth Certificates for Everyone in the Household.

2- Social Security Cards for Household members.

3-Picture ID of anyone age 18+ that will live in the Household.

4-Proof of income documentation

5-Marriage license or divorce decree (if applicable)

6-Signed consent forms (available at the Authority or online; TruDiligence Form) for both Credit & Criminal Background checks.

1-Award Letter for Social Security or Disability

2- 4 Current pay stubs from your employer. (There must be the most recent 4)

3- School funds are NOT acceptable forms of income.

Yes. The Flint Area Housing Authority usually will keep the waiting list open all year.

The Flint Area Consolidated Housing Authority keeps a waiting list for all Housing Programs. The waiting list is according to the date and time a person applies, the family size, and by any local preferences for qualified applicants. Local preferences are asking for a particular city and/or apartment complex.

The place of an applicant on the waiting list depends on several factors. Public Housing is determined on bedroom size, application date and time, and any local preferences the applicant qualifies for. The time on the list for any applicant is difficult to predict and also depends on unit availability and an applicant’s timely response to an offer letter. An applicant will be notified via mail when their application nears the top three of that wait list.

Our policy dictates that an applicant may reject an offer for an apartment for any reason. If an applicant rejects an offer they are moved to the bottom of the waiting list. Upon the third offer, if the applicant does not respond or refuses again, the applicant will be removed from the waiting list entirely and must reapply to be considered. Applicants are encouraged to have funds readily available to be able to accept an offer and move forward quickly. It is up to the applicant to let the Housing Authority know if their mailing address and phone number have changed at any time they are on the waiting list.

No. If interested in the section 8 voucher program in Macon and Taylor Counties, citizens are encouraged to contact the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
