Based on the latest 2024 census data, the figures above show the local median earnings for this area. Management will generally require your household income to be at or below 50% of these median figures.
HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rent, or SAFMR, is a ZIP-code-based fair market rent estimate. It can help you compare what different bedroom sizes may cost in this area.
| Bedroom | 90% | SAFMR | 110% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $927 | $1,030 | $1,133 |
| 1 BR | $936 | $1,040 | $1,144 |
| 2 BR | $1,215 | $1,350 | $1,485 |
| 3 BR | $1,692 | $1,880 | $2,068 |
| 4 BR | $2,034 | $2,260 | $2,486 |
These values are only a comparison tool. They do not replace the property's actual rent, and they do not guarantee what you will pay unless your program uses SAFMR directly.

Our eligibility tool automatically cross-references your household size and gross income with the local AMI database for this property to determine your fit.
LIHTC properties are required by law to remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years from the date they were placed in service (Valley view apartments was placed in service around 2015, so rent restrictions are secured at least until ~2045). After that period, the owner can choose to exit the program or renew. Ask management about the property's current compliance end date.
Yes, this property participates in the Project-Based Section 8 program. Unlike a tenant-based voucher that moves with you, this subsidy is attached to the specific building. Eligible tenants generally pay 30% of their adjusted gross income toward rent, and the federal government covers the rest.
Federal law requires that at least 40% of available Project-Based Section 8 units each year be reserved for "extremely low-income" families—those earning at or below 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or the federal poverty line. If your household income is in this lowest tier, you may have higher priority on the waitlist.
Yes. Federal regulations mandate strict criminal background checks for Section 8 housing. Specifically, anyone subject to a lifetime sex offender registration requirement or convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine on the premises of federally assisted housing is permanently disqualified. Local housing authorities may also have additional screening criteria for recent drug-related or violent offenses.
Section 8 requires applicants to have U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status. However, unlike some other rural programs, Section 8 allows for "mixed-status families" (households with both eligible and ineligible members). In this case, your rental assistance would be prorated based on the number of eligible household members.
