Columbus, like any other big city today, has a lot of people who aren't making much money. Usually, they were either doing well in the past but have fallen on hard times, or they were never doing that well in the first place. Some of these are people who are just starting out in life and don't have much of a job history or education yet, and some of them are seniors and elderly people who are on a limited income and can't afford to live somewhere that is more expensive. No matter what category a person falls into, if he or she meets the income requirements and other criteria, there is a low income apartment available for that person. Demand for them is going up, however, with the job market and the housing crisis.

People who formerly made a lot of money and lived in a nice home are now being forced to take low-paying jobs and live in housing that is subsidized. There is no shame in this, and a lot of people are finding that it helps them to get back on their feet fairly easily. They pay around thirty percent of their current income each month for rent and utilities, and by doing that they are able to put food on the table, pay down some of their debt, and save a little bit of money.

It's very important to them that they can do this because it keeps them from living on the street. If they have a family to support it's even more important, since they certainly don't want their children to have to live on the street or bounce around to friends and neighbors, never really having a safe and secure place to live.

Being able to have a roof over one's head and live in a place that is decent and clean is something that should really be available to every hard-working person in the country, and low income apartments can help to make that more realistic. Even people who think that they won't qualify but are struggling should check into the idea. They might be surprised at the help that they can qualify for.
