Single adult applicants must have a minimum monthly income of $500.00. Income can include employment wages, SSDI/SSI, Housing Choice (Section 8) Voucher, Shelter Plus Care (S+C) Voucher, Independence Card (Food Stamps), or other subsidies

Applicants are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Make sure to provide a complete and detailed account of all charges and convictions in the Rental Application; a criminal history search is performed for all applicants.

MSH is usually unable to accept individuals who have been charged or convicted of serious crimes such as murder, acts of violence, sexual offenses, or drug distribution.

How:

Complete a rental application: (http://www.onourownmd.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/MSH-Rental-Application-2014.pdf)

Process involves documentation review and multiple interviews: Most MSH units are “cooperative living” where 2-3 non-related individuals share a unit. Families are placed in single units. MSH has a very limited number of single units for individual tenants.
