Section 202<\/strong><\/p>\n

Section 202, Supportive Housing for the Elderly is a program that provides housing for low- to moderate-income and disabled seniors. The program works through private and nonprofit sponsors, who provide the costs for the senior housing developments. These housing facilities can include meals, transportation, housekeeping, and other various services. But, not every facility includes services. However, each facility is subsidized, with rent averaging 30% of the household income. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those eligible for Section 202 must be 62 years or older, or have, at least, one household member who is over 62 years old. <\/span><\/p>\n
