About This Abingdon Senior Housing - Abingdon Gardens
Catholic Charities provides low income housing in the form of rent-assisted apartments. These apartments are funded by the government and are designed for low income individuals. The Abingdon Gardens community, which is one of Catholic Charities' senior communities, offers 76 one-bedroom apartments for seniors. Located in eastern Harford County, Abingdon Gardens is easily accessible from I-95 and Route 40. The apartments come with a range of amenities, including exercise classes, a resident association, service coordination, a craft room, a computer center, a multipurpose room, a laundry room and lounge, a personal emergency response system, intercom and controlled entry systems, and units wired for telephone and cable television service. The income eligibility for these apartments is determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which sets the maximum annual income limits. These limits vary depending on the type of property and the number of persons in the household. For HUD properties, residents pay 30% of their adjusted gross income in rent. For tax credit properties, residents' rent is based on the apartment type regardless of individual income. To apply for residency, an applicant must be 62 years old or older (or a non-elderly disabled person in certain buildings) at the time of application and must meet Catholic Charities' Tenant Selection Plan criteria. A registered Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) conducts an investigative report on each applicant for credit, rental, criminal and sex offender history. This apartment also accepts HUD subsidies. If you qualify for low income housing and they have available apartments, rent is based on 30% of your Adjusted Gross Income. For more information, call 410-569-3630.
