Rental Eligibility
 Affordable
Homes Westmoreland includes several non-profit agencies and
developers working alongside the Westmoreland County Department of
Planning and Development to provide affordable housing for low to
moderate income residents of Westmoreland County, PA.
Rental eligibility varies from one participating entity to
another and from program to program.
Listed below are our currently participating agencies and the
Eligibility Guidelines for each.
Homes Build Hope
Find Out if You are Eligible
Your first step is to contact Homes Build Hope, where a housing
counselor will determine what your housing needs are and if you are
eligible based on income and the number of people in your household.
The Income Limit Chart below is based on the Area Median Income
(AMI) and is a preliminary tool to determine eligibility. Most
rental units follow the 50% income guidelines; however, some units
will qualify under the other percentages, depending on
availability.
The income limits are updated annually by the Federal Department
of Housing and Urban Development and should be used as an initial
reference point. If you're unsure if you qualify, call the Homes
Build Hope office for further qualification information.
