Immigration status
You do not need to be a United States citizen to apply for housing, but you do need to be a citizen or have eligible immigration status to receive housing. Your eligibility will be verified one year after you have leased a unit. You could lose all or part of your assistance if you do not have acceptable citizenship or immigration status at that time. For more information, see How immigration status affects assistance.
Reporting your assets
All SHA housing programs take your assets into account when calculating your income. The actual value of assets is not included in the calculation of income, but income from assets is. For example, if you have money in a savings account, that money will not be added to your income. The interest earned from the money in your account, however, will be considered part of your annual income. Each housing program has specific policies about assets from income.
