Gaslight Apartments is a subsidized housing community for seniors. The term “subsidized housing” means that the rent is based on income. A resident of our community pays approximately 30% of their adjusted income for rent and the remaining portion 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.

Gaslight Apartments is for seniors 62 years of age or older or those people needing the accessibility features of our mobility impaired apartments. However, we do have a special waiver until April 2006 that allows us to offer apartments to seniors who are age 50 or older.

We are a single story building with 30 apartments. There are 22 one bedroom apartments and 8 studios.

A mobility impaired apartment is an apartment that has special features that allow an individual, who has been certified as mobility impaired by a physician, to assist them in their living at Gaslight Apartments. Mobility impairment is described as a person who uses a wheelchair, walker, cane, crutches or has agate walking.

Everyone’s rent is different because it is based on their income and medical expenses. When interviewed, we ask you to supply information regarding all forms of income you receive. Most information can be obtained by sending one of our forms to your contacts. We also use the number of monies that you pay “out of your own pocket” for medical needs. Again, we can send a form to your doctors and pharmacies to get the information we need. We then take your gross income amount and subtract a percentage of your medical costs. Your rent is then calculated on 30% of that adjusted total. Then each year we will interview you again and your rent will reflect changes in your income and expenses.
