Ederly Housing
The Elderly Housing program is a federal
program that provides decent and safe, rental housing assistance
for eligible elderly, and people with disabilities.
Elderly housing units are owned and managed by York Housing
Authority. Some of the units are grouped in a single community,
others are found distributed throughout York County that can
be houses or apartment buildings that have been remodeled
by the authority.
Elderly Housing residents pay 30% of their adjusted gross
income for rent and basic utilities. YHA manages approximately
1066 455 Elderly rental housing units in York City and York
County. YHA selects its residents after they have completed
the application process, have come to the top of the waiting
