Luther crest is a federally funded HUD Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly community serving low-income seniors in Toledo, Ohio. Under HUD's Section 202 program, qualifying residents typically pay 30% of their adjusted monthly income toward rent — making this one of the most affordable senior housing options available for adults on fixed incomes.
To qualify, the head of household must generally be 62 years of age or older and meet HUD income limits for Toledo. Based on 2024 Census data, the local median income for the 43615 zip code is $58,688 for a single person and $83,841 for a 4-person household. HUD sets Section 202 income limits as a percentage of this figure — typically at 50% or 80% of AMI depending on the specific funding type. Unlike a Section 8 housing choice voucher, the rental subsidy at a Section 202 property is tied to the building — you apply directly to Luther crest and are placed on the property's waitlist if units are not immediately available.
Luther crest is classified as independent senior living — residents live autonomously in their own apartments rather than receiving nursing or assisted-living care. A service coordinator is on staff to connect residents with community resources, healthcare referrals, and social programs.
You must be 62. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for Toledo.
