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 79 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Staten Island who accept vouchers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to Markham Gardens?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (516) 486-1000 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Markham Gardens 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 Markham Gardens?
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 Richmond County the FY2026 very low income limit is $59,400 a year for one person and $84,800 for a household of four.
How much is rent at Markham Gardens?
Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and HUD pays the rest to the property. HUD's most recent resident data shows households here paying an average of $387 a month toward rent and utilities. 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 Markham Gardens?
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 Markham Gardens only for seniors?
HUD lists it as housing for the elderly. The head of household or their spouse generally has to be 62 or older. Some senior properties also admit younger adults with disabilities; the office can tell you whether this one does.
