I’ve all but given up on government-sponsored affordable housing. I’m ellibible but even these subsdized prices cripple my cash flow and eat more than half my income on rent. (People often throw around “1/3” as a financially-sound upper limit, but those people apparently don’t live where others want to live, too.) What I find ironic is that last year I didn’t qualify because I didn’t make enough and this year I qualify but can’t realistically afford it. What I find fascinating is that apparently for some people these kinds of affordable housing programs work, and I want to know more about how.
