low-income housing
Subsidized rental units
Low-income housing is residential property designed to be affordable for people with limited financial means.
It often involves government subsidies, rent controls, or income-based eligibility requirements.
The term appears in policy discussions about urban development and poverty: The city approved a new low-income housing project downtown.
Also called affordable housing, though that term sometimes covers a broader income range.
