About Jackies Garden

Address
1819 N Woodstock St, Philadelphia, PA 19121
Program
Project-based Section 8
Who can live here
HUD lists this as general or family housing. Ask the office about household eligibility and how it assigns apartment sizes; a unit count is not an offer of an apartment.
Rent
Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and a HUD contract with the property covers the rest. HUD's resident data records an average payment of $421 a month toward rent and utilities. This historical average is not a current asking rent or a quote for your household.
Subsidized apartments by size
28 1-bedroom, 52 2-bedroom, 54 3-bedroom
Other apartments
One of the 135 apartments is not covered by the HUD contract. Ask the office whether they are rental units, what rent applies and whether a Housing Choice Voucher can be used.
Historical move-ins
About 4% of households had moved in within the past year in the resident data held by HUD. This does not predict openings, waiting time or the current status of the waiting list.
Managed by
Michaels Management-Affordable LLC, (856) 596-0500
HUD inspection
Scored 76 out of 100 in the HUD inspection record (March 2025). This is a dated inspection result, not a statement about the condition of an apartment today.
HUD contract
HUD's record lists a contract end of June 2034. This field alone does not confirm current coverage or a renewal; ask the office.

If you already have a housing voucher

A Housing Choice Voucher pays part of the rent in a privately owned apartment you find yourself. It cannot be used in an apartment that is already subsidized, so the 134 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Philadelphia who accept vouchers or see Section 8 rent limits and housing authorities in Philadelphia County.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to Jackies Garden?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (215) 236-0738 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Jackies Garden keeps its own waiting list, separate from the Section 8 voucher list. Expect to show ID, Social Security numbers and proof of income for everyone in the household.
What is the income limit for Jackies Garden?
Most admissions to project-based Section 8 are for very low income households (50% of area median or less). Limited admissions above that level may be allowed within the low income limit. At least 40% of assisted units becoming available in a fiscal year must go to extremely low income households. The applicable admission rules depend on the contract; the office verifies eligibility (24 CFR 5.653). In Philadelphia County the FY2026 very low income limit is $42,950 a year for one person and $61,350 for a household of four.
How much is rent at Jackies Garden?
Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and a HUD contract with the property covers the rest. HUD's resident data records an average payment of $421 a month toward rent and utilities. This historical average is not a current rent quote. Your own share is calculated from your household's income when you move in and again each year.
Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at Jackies Garden?
No. This is Project-based Section 8: the assistance is attached to the apartment, not to the tenant, so it is there when you move in and stays behind when you move out. One apartment is not subsidized; ask the office whether a Housing Choice Voucher can be used there.
