Classic Program

For some residents, like our seniors or those with disabilities, long-term, stable housing assistance is critical. Our public housing team developed the Classic program to meet their needs and simplify the process.

In this program the family’s shelter burden will be 28.5 percent of gross income. The decrease allows for a streamlined rent calculation with no deductions, and housing costs that are stable for a three-year period.


The following graphic is an example of how the Classic program works.

Classic Program Example: 1,110 (monthly income) X 28.5% = 316 (monthly rent)


To be part of the Classic program, household members must be age 62 or older or identified as adults with a disability. Live-in attendants and full-time student dependents younger than age 24 will not disqualify a family from participating in the Classic program.
