Rent at a HUD Section 202 property is set at roughly 30 percent of the household's adjusted monthly income, not at a fixed market rate, so the amount is different for every household. The building's management office can confirm the current HUD income limit for the area and what a specific household would pay. Because waiting lists are common, a family should call before the apartment is needed.
