Sacramento, California, like many cities in that state and across the country, has a rather high cost of living. Not everyone in the city, though, can really afford to live there, especially when housing prices keep dropping and people keep losing their jobs. If you've lost your job, if you're a senior on a fixed income, or if you're just starting out you might be interested in - and qualify for - a low income apartment.

These low income apartments aren't available to everyone, and there are restrictions on who can live there and how much money those people can make before they must find some other place to live. How many people are in the family also have a lot to do with whether a person can qualify for one of the low income apartments because families with children must spend more money on things like food than a single person, so their income requirements are different. Regardless of whether you're single or part of a family, though, if you have a steady source of income but are having trouble making ends meet you should know that you have options for low income apartments in the Sacramento area.

There are only a limited number of these, though, and more people are applying for them today because of problems with the housing, job, and stock markets. That will make them harder to get and people who do move into them will be encouraged to only stay as long as they have to until they can get something better to rent or until they can buy a home of their own.

Seniors usually stay long-term because their prospects for making more money in the future are quite limited, but other people are encouraged - and sometimes required - to only remain in the low income apartments for a certain length of time as a condition of being allowed to stay there. If this is the case they are generally required to get some kind of schooling or training, and often to attend financial management classes, so that they can make better choices in the future, build up their credit rating, and qualify to purchase a home.
