Birmingham, Alabama has apartments all throughout the city. If you are looking for cheap apartments within a close walk from the city or access to the public transportation system, you can find many of them here on this site. There are units that accept Section 8 housing vouchers so you only have to pay a percentage of your income and the federal government pays the difference to the landlords. Section 8 is a great opportunity for people who need a low income apartment and are struggling with a lot of credit card debt, medical bills or have been out of work for some time.

Expect a waiting list if you want a Section 8 apartment in Alabama. There are many people signed up for the program and you get scored based on your need. For example if you are living well below the poverty line and have a child with an existing medical condition, you will get preferential treatment over someone who has more income than you and no children.

Building services exist for people looking to get into their very own starter home. If you make below a pre-determined income level, you may be eligible to receive a grant or a loan to get you started. Off the loan has lower than market interest rates and may include a deferral period, so you don't have to start
