KH’s programs are meant for people and households living on limited incomes. To find out if you qualify for housing assistance, follow the three steps below.
STEP #1
Look Up Your Income Level
Using the HUD Income Guidelines for Cheshire County, New Hampshire, find the row for your household size, and then find your annual household income in that row. Then look at the top of that column to find your percentage number. Your percentage number measures your income in comparison to the average household of your size in New Hampshire. You may want to write down your percentage number to remember it.
STEP #2
Search for Housing
Income limits are listed in the property description for every community and program on this website. If your percentage number is the same or lower than the income limit shown for that apartment, then you are eligible.
STEP #3
Know Your History
Like other landlords, we need to make sure our applicants will be good tenants. This involves checking your:
LANDLORD REFERENCES
We’ll need to see good references from the places you have lived for the past three years. If there is a good reason you can’t provide these, we may be able to use other types of references.
CREDIT HISTORY
We run a consumer credit check on every applicant. If you still owe money to a previous landlord, you might not be approved for residency.
CRIMINAL HISTORY
We have specific guidelines at each of our properties regarding serious crimes, especially drug-related activity or violence. We run a criminal record check on every applicant.
