BASICS FOR HOUSING SECTION 8, FUNDING & APARTMENTS
Each apartment building on the following list has some apartments funded through Section 8 or through other types of funding sources. For instance, a building that has 30 apartments may only have 15 that are subsidized. The other 15 apartments are at the regular rental fee.
To apply for a subsidized apartment, call the manager of the desired building and request an application. After the application is completed and mailed to the manager, they can determine what your rent will be according to your income.
It is important to remember that each apartment building operates separately from the others, so you must call the manager of the apartment building you are interested in to start the process of applying.
Applications are available at the Community Action Partnership office at 214 Main Street, Kalispell (758-5437). When your application is completed, send it to the address in Helena.
When your eligibility is determined, your name is put on a waiting list, which is about three years.
Once you are notified that you are at the top of the list, bring to the Community Action Partnership office:
Verification of income
Social Security card
Birth certificate
Medical bill receipts
Any other pertinent information requested
At this point, you can look for a rental that fits within the guidelines. The landlord must agree to rent under Section 8. An inspection of the rental is done and then lease papers can be signed.
Community Action Partnership does not help locate housing, only aids in the subsidizing of a rental property.
