In order to submit an application for housing at Providence Rossi House, you must meet the following initial eligibility requirements.

• Maximum household size for a one-bedroom apartment is 2 persons
• Applicants must disclose their social security numbers at the time of application, and will be required to provide documentation during the initial eligibility process

  • 2-Person Household: $28,250

*HUD Income Limits are subject to change without notice

Please note that we will run a tenant screening report when qualified applicants reach the top of the wait list. There is no charge to applicants for running the report, and the report is usable only for properties owned and managed by Providence. For information about our screening criteria, refer to the Tenant Selection Plan. If you have completed a comprehensive reusable tenant screening report at another property, you may choose to share that with us, but you are not required to do so.

Please review the Tenant Selection Plan for further eligibility requirements that may impact eligibility for housing.
