How income-based apartments in Corona work

Every property above has a contract with HUD that pays part of the rent on specific apartments. Tenants pay about 30% of their adjusted household income and HUD pays the owner the difference. Because the assistance belongs to the apartment, you do not need a voucher to move in, and you do not take the assistance with you when you leave.

Each property runs its own waiting list. There is no single application for Corona: call the properties that fit your household, ask whether the list is open, and apply to as many as you like. Senior properties are age-restricted, usually to 62 and older.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a low income apartment in Corona?
Apply directly to each property. The 3 properties on this page have rent assistance attached to the apartments, and each one keeps its own waiting list, so you can apply to several at once. Call the office, ask whether the list is open, and ask how to get an application. This is separate from applying for a Section 8 voucher at the housing authority, and you can do both.
How much is rent in income-based apartments in Corona?
Tenants pay about 30% of their adjusted household income, and HUD pays the rest to the owner. Across the properties here that report it, households pay an average of $447 a month toward rent and utilities. For comparison, HUD's FY2027 Fair Market Rent for a one-bedroom in Queens County is $2,729.
What income qualifies for low income housing in Corona?
Most of these properties admit households at or below the very low income limit, which is 50% of the area median for your household size. In Queens County for FY2026 that is $59,400 a year for one person and $84,800 for four. Some older properties admit households up to the low income limit (80%).
Do I need a Section 8 voucher for these apartments?
No. In project-based Section 8, Section 202 and Section 811 properties the subsidy is attached to the apartment. You do not bring a voucher, and you do not keep the assistance if you move out. A voucher cannot be stacked on an apartment that is already subsidized, so if you already hold one, look for a landlord who accepts it instead.
Are there low income senior apartments in Corona?
Yes. 2 of the 3 properties listed here are designated for seniors, where the head of household or spouse is generally 62 or older.
