No, this is not Section 8 housing. This project is funded through the Section 42 Affordable Housing Tax Credit Program. Different from Section 8, that means residents are responsible for paying 100% of their rent. Under the Section 42 program, apartments will only be rented to those making less than 60% of the area median income, adjusted for family size. Prospective tenant incomes are verified prior to move-in.

1: All residents must be 40 years or older and at least one household member must be at least 55 years of age.

2: Spero Belle Plaine participates in an affordable housing program. Household income & student status limitations apply. Household income is based on GROSS annual income (before any deductions) earned from all sources including wages, social security payments, public assistance, pensions, annuities, interest income, dividends, stocks, bonds, insurance settlements, recurring gifts from family/friends, sales of artwork, etc. Third-party verification will be required of all income, and copies of tax returns and pay stubs may be required.
