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 95 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Washington who accept vouchers or see Section 8 rent limits and housing authorities in District of Columbia.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to Allen House?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (202) 397-1862 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Allen House 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 Allen House?
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 District of Columbia the FY2026 very low income limit is $58,150 a year for one person and $83,050 for a household of four.
How much is rent at Allen House?
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 $399 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 Allen House?
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. One apartment is not subsidized; ask the office whether a Housing Choice Voucher can be used there.
Is Allen House 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.
