Through public and subsidized housing programs, low-income households are able to pay rental amounts calculated based on their income, rather than at market rates. Eligibility depends on income in relation to median income; income thresholds do not explicitly vary by marital status or cohabitation. In both public and subsidized housing, rent is based on household income less certain deductions; neither rent formulas nor deductions vary by marital status or cohabitation. The value of the subsidy can be calculated as the monthly market-value rent for the apartment in which the household lives minus the amount of rent that the household must pay.
