Harshfield Terrace is a subsidized housing community for seniors at least 62 years old.. The term “subsidized housing” means that the rent is based on income. A resident of the community pays approximately 30% of their income as rent.

The remainder of the rent is paid in the form of a subsidy. If a resident qualifies for a subsidy, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), a U.S. government agency, will pay the remainder of the rent.

Resident rent is based on approximately 30% of income. A good estimate of your rent would be to take 30% of your gross annual income and divide it by 12 months. This will give you an estimate of what your monthly rent could be.

Monthly rental of the apartment, as well as gas, water, & trash. A utility allowance of $25.00 is deducted off of the resident’s rent payment (meant to help the resident pay the utility bills). The allowance amount is based on an annual average usage calculation of all the units and may change yearly. Residents pay for their electricity, cable and phone individually.  Residents may still be eligible for energy assistance from the state.
