Check before you pay
Applying for housing assistance or joining an agency waitlist is free. An agency will not ask you to pay by app, wire or gift card to get a spot. Use HUD’s contact page to find your housing agency, then call to check an offer.
Do not pay to view a home or hold a waitlist spot. Before sending rent or a deposit, confirm the home and the person’s right to rent it. See FTC advice on checking a rental.

Rental terms used on this page
- Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)
- Rental help run by a housing authority. You find a home, and the agency checks the unit, rent and your household before it approves payment.
- Payment standard
- An amount the agency uses to work out housing assistance for a unit size and area. It does not mean that any home at that rent will be approved.
- FMR and SAFMR
- HUD rent estimates for an area (Fair Market Rent) or ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rent). They include rent and most tenant-paid utilities. Your agency may use a different payment standard.
- Utility allowance
- The agency’s estimate of the cost of utilities you must pay. It is not a promise to pay your actual bills.
- Gross rent and tenant share
- Gross rent combines the lease rent and the agency’s utility allowance. Your tenant share is the part you must pay after the agency works out your help.
- Portability
- Moving with a voucher to an area served by another housing agency. Ask your current worker what to do before you move.
- Request for tenancy approval
- The unit and owner paperwork your agency needs to start its rent and housing-quality review. Ask the agency for its form and deadline.

Planning a voucher search in Castleton
Castleton is a broad search area. Confirm the actual street address, municipality and unit, then compare trips and required costs. The links below broaden the search across existing Indianapolis pages; they do not assert that those neighborhoods share a boundary.
Verify Sahm amenities before relying on them
Sahm Park is at 6801 East 91st Street. Its page mixes older renovation dates and pool schedules with a pool-closure notice. Ask the park about the specific facility’s current status; an elapsed construction estimate does not confirm completion or pool operation.
Sahm Park - Indy Parks & RecreationCompare a Guilford Avenue document trip
Nora Branch at 8625 Guilford Avenue lists computers, scanning, mobile printing and reservable study rooms. Compare the full trip from the Castleton unit and check hours and charges. A nearby postal label does not make this an on-site apartment service.
Nora | Indianapolis Public LibraryQuestions about your Castleton search
- Does a past Sahm renovation date prove the facilities reopened?
- No. The page retains older estimates and mixed operating information. Confirm current access to the particular facility directly.
- Are Nora and Broad Ripple adjacent to every Castleton offer?
- These are broader existing search alternatives. Compare actual addresses, municipality, travel and household costs rather than assuming adjacency.
