What type of housing is King James Court? Is it low-income housing?

King James Court is a subsidized housing community for seniors aged 62 & over and individuals with disabilities. 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.

Who pays the remainder of the 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.

How is rent calculated?

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.

What does the rent include?

Monthly rental of the apartment, as well as trash. A utility allowance for a one-bedroom is $87.00 and two bedrooms $109. This allowance is deducted from the resident’s rent payment (meant to help the resident pay the utility bills). The allowance amount is based on average usage for the apartment and may change annually. Residents will still receive a utility bill (electricity) but the allowance is intended to help pay for this bill. Residents may still be eligible for energy assistance from the state.
