Arkansas is often seen as an economically depressed state in that the cost of living is lower than the US average, and many of the people don't make high salaries. This is true even in larger cities like Little Rock, although there are still plenty of people in the city and in the state who enjoy a higher standard of living. When it comes to Little Rock, it's important that the people who live there and who don't make a lot of money have places that they can live and afford to pay their bills.

That's where low income apartments come in. They are designed for people who have steady income but don't make a lot of money. People who are just starting out. People who make minimum wage. Single parents who didn't expect to be in that situation and who are struggling a bit to find their way again. Really, anyone who has fallen on hard times - and there are more of them every day in this economy - can be eligible for low income housing in Little Rock. With most low income apartments the principle is the same. You need a steady income, and you need to meet some other criteria about how much you make, family size, and other things.

If you do, you can qualify for housing that's subsidized. In other words, you'll only have to pay a portion of your rent, and that portion won't be more than thirty percent of your monthly income. The rest of the rental amount will be paid through government programs, and you won't have to pay it back later - it's not a loan.

You can generally only live in one of these low income apartments for a certain period of time, though, and you have to work toward owning your own home. If you don't do that you can lose your status in the program and you'll have to leave the apartment. Also, if you get a raise and start making more money you also might have to leave the apartment so that someone who needs it more than you based on their financial situation can move in.
