Monona Meadows is a subsidized housing community for seniors over the age of 62 and the mobility impaired age 18 or older. 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 30% of income as well as taking in consideration assets and medical expenses.

The allowance amount is based on average usage for the apartment and may change annually. Residents will still receive an electric bill, but the allowance is intended to help pay for it. Residents may still be eligible for energy assistance from the state.
