The Starkville Housing Authority manages five Public Housing developments for our family, elderly and disabled participants who meet the income limit guidelines. The Starkville Housing Authority Resident Council sponsors a variety of programs for adults and children.
Public Housing was established to provide decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers Federal aid to local housing agencies (HAs) that manage the housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford.
Who is Eligible?
Public housing is limited to low-income families and individuals. The HA determines your eligibility based on: 1) annual gross income; 2) whether you qualify as elderly, a person with a disability, or as a family; and 3) U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status. If you are eligible, the HA will check your references to make sure you and your family will be good tenants. The HA will deny admission to any applicant whose habits and practices may be expected to have a detrimental effect on other tenants or on the project's environment.
