AHA encourages all to apply for the housing wait lists but the applicant household must meet some eligibility criteria.  The family's total gross income may not exceed 50% of the median income based on family size.

Project-based vouchers are attached to a specific unit whose landlord contracts with a housing agency to rent the unit to low-income families.
