Does it exist and at rent adjusted for income? I've seen plenty of senior housing ads on craigslist and such but none for the disabled. I live in maryland and can't even afford an apartment here. I'm disabled due to anxiety mostly but I'm not a senior citizen; I'm 30 years old.

I am guessing that it depends a lot on where you live. I am not aware of any housing specifically for people with disabilities in my town, though there are low income housing options that are ADA accessible.

However, when I went to college 45 miles away from here, there was an apartment building for disabled people that was based on income.

I'd do some research for you, but "Maryland" is too vague--for anyone to give you information on your specific area, we would need to know your town. You should be able to go to google and type in "Housing disabled town name" or "housing disability city name" and it should pull something up for you. Good luck.

I'm in Mass and here many of the elderly housing programs for those on low income are also open for disabled people with low incomes. There is also some housing for anyone who is low income in 'non' senior housing. Guidelines are decided town by town.

Just a quick google.......

Info on there about the federal section 8 housing program too.

They just had a mess in Georgia because they started handing out applications for section 8, thousands showed up. They hadn't had any new applications since 2001. There is a lot of competition out there. Landlords also have to have their buildings up to code to be approved for section 8 recipients. Here is a little info to help you.

Ok so I would need a housing voucher? I've heard of these vouchers before here in maryland and looked into it last year. The wait was seven years.

I used the website ** and you can list by income restricted disabled etc housing. The HUD website also has 100+ page pdfs for dwellings that support section 8. They have a column just for if they accept disabled or not.

I was hoping that if you were disabled you just had to prove disability then you would be given income adjusted rent. Am I correct in saying I would need to apply for a section 8 voucher, regardless of my disabled status?
