All applicants must meet the following requirements to be eligible for occupancy in a MEND apartment:

1. The tenant family’s annual income must not exceed applicable program income limits. MEND receives funding from a variety of government agencies and each of those agencies has its own
guideline for income eligibility.

2. Applicants must provide copies of social security cards and birth certificates for all family members.

3. All adult applicants must sign an Authorization for Release of Information.

4. The unit for which the family is applying must be intended to be the family’s sole residence.

5. Apartment occupancy cannot exceed a maximum of 2 persons per bedroom.

  

6. Applicants must agree to pay the rent required by the funding or subsidy program under which the apartments are rented.

7. Only U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens who have eligible immigration status as determined by HUD may receive assistance under Section 8 programs. (Note: MEND has a very limited number of Section 8 subsidized apartments and the Waiting Lists for those apartments are currently closed.)

8. All information submitted by an applicant is subject to verification by relevant third parties, e.g., employers, banks, current and past landlords, government agencies, etc.

9. The various funding and subsidy programs may impose additional application requirements and occupancy restrictions.
