About half of our tenants are charged rent on a sliding scale based on 30% of their income.  Our other tenants pay fixed amounts at below-market rents.  Both of these scenarios provide our tenants with housing they can afford, in a community where they can thrive, while preserving enough of their income to cover other vital living expenses.  Improved health, access to community resources, a safe and clean living environment line the pathway to better life opportunities.
