About AHEPA 501 Senior Apartments
+
−
What should a family expect from income-restricted senior housing in Albuquerque? AHEPA 501 Senior Apartments, at 6800 Los Volcanes Road NW, provides independent living apartments through the HUD Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program. The program serves very low income seniors age 62 and older, with rent set as a portion of household income rather than a fixed market rate.
Living independently here means residents manage their own meals, housekeeping and daily errands without staff support. Personal care, medication management and nursing services are not part of the apartment, since Section 202 funds housing costs rather than caregiving. AHEPA Senior Living operates the property as a nonprofit and has supported causes such as senior nutrition programs and vision care for the blind and visually impaired since 1996.
Eligibility is generally based on age, 62 or older, and household income under a limit HUD sets for the area each year. Because income-restricted apartments tend to fill quickly, a waiting list is common, and how long it runs depends on how often current residents move. Families should confirm current income limits and openings directly with the property rather than rely on outdated figures.
Anyone comparing Albuquerque housing can review other senior living in Albuquerque to see how this community fits alongside other income-based, independent living options across the city and its surrounding neighborhoods. Anyone unsure whether they qualify can still submit an application, since the property makes the final determination based on current HUD guidelines.
