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 107 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 Saligman North?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (215) 464-3377 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Saligman North 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 Saligman North?
Household income has to be at or below the very low income limit, which is 50% of the area median for your household size. 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 Saligman North?
Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and HUD pays the rest to the property. HUD's resident data records an average payment of $331 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 Saligman North?
No. This is Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly: 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. A Housing Choice Voucher cannot be combined with an apartment that already has project-based assistance.
Is Saligman North only for seniors?
HUD lists it as housing for the elderly. For Section 202 capital-advance housing, at least one household member must be 62 or older at initial occupancy (24 CFR 891.205). Ask the office for its household and admission requirements.
