What is 26 Hilliard?
A new ten-unit building of private studio apartments, each with its own kitchen and bathroom.

Why are there income limits?
26 Hilliard is an affordable housing community. Every apartment is reserved for households earning under a set amount, and rents are capped and include all utilities.

Income estimate overview
Your household income must fall between the minimum and the maximum for the apartment. The minimum is 1.8 times the rent. Maximum incomes and maximum rents are based on charts published each year by Invest Atlanta and change every year. The amounts below are current as of the date of this application.

Income limits table

	60% AMI apartments	80% AMI apartments
Maximum monthly rent	Up to $1,237	Up to $1,650
Minimum income	1.8 x the monthly rent	1.8 x the monthly rent
Maximum income, 1 person	$49,500 per year	$66,000 per year
Maximum income, 2 persons	$56,580 per year	$75,400 per year

Is there a minimum income?
Yes. Monthly household income must be at least 1.8 times the monthly rent. That is a minimum; more is fine up to the maximum. With a Housing Choice Voucher, income must be at least 1.8 times your share of the rent.

What does it cost?
Rent is set for each apartment and will never be more than the maximum shown above. All utilities (water, sewer, electric, gas, trash and internet) are included in the rent at no extra cost. The security deposit is $500. The applicant pays the background check fee.

How many people can live in an apartment?
Up to two people: you and one approved second occupant.

How long is the lease?
Lease length is set with the Property Manager.

Is smoking allowed?
No. 26 Hilliard is smoke-free and candle-free, inside and out. This includes vaping, marijuana and incense. One violation is grounds for ending the lease.

What counts as income?
Gross pay before taxes for every adult in the household, including wages, overtime, tips, self-employment income, Social Security, SSI, unemployment, child support and alimony. SNAP benefits do not count.

What about savings?
Savings never disqualify you. If savings and investments total more than $5,000, 0.4% of the total is added to your annual income. For example, $20,000 in savings adds $80 per year. Retirement accounts, cars and personal belongings are not counted.

Is there a background check?
Yes. Management will complete a background and rental history check for each adult.

Is there other paperwork?
If approved, you will complete a Tenant Income Certification before signing your lease. It must be signed in front of a notary, which is your responsibility. We may be able to help arrange one. The certification is updated once a year.

Can students apply?
Yes. If every member of the household is a full-time student, one exception must apply, such as being a single parent, being married, receiving TANF, being in a job training program, or having been in foster care.

Do you accept Housing Choice Vouchers?
Yes.

What if my income goes up later?
You may stay. Your household remains eligible as long as income stays under 140% of the limit.

Can someone move in with me later?
Only one approved second occupant, and only if that person also qualifies and a new lease is signed.

Equal Housing Opportunity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, age, marital status, or any other protected characteristic. Reasonable accommodations are available on request.

This is an estimate only. Management confirms income with your documents.

Compare this amount to the table on page 1. It must be at or above the minimum and at or below the maximum for your household size.
