Private subsidized housing is sometimes referred to as "Project Based Section 8 Housing." Property owner/manager must follow HUD regulations. The government gives funds directly to the apartment owners, who lower the rents they charge tenants with low-income. This type of affordable housing may have additional eligibility requirements. The rental amount paid by the resident is determined based on the resident's income.
