Section 8 (Housing)
Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937 often called Section 8, as repeatedly amended, authorizes the payment of rental housing assistance to private landlords on behalf of low-income households in the United States.
Income Based
Income-based housing, also known as affordable housing, refers to housing options that are specifically designed to be affordable for individuals or families with lower incomes. This type of housing is often subsidized by the government or private organizations, and rent is typically set at a percentage of the tenant's income. Income-based housing can provide much-needed stability and security for low-income families, as it allows them to live in safe, comfortable housing without worrying about being priced out of the market. However, the availability of income-based housing can be limited, and there may be long waiting lists or strict eligibility requirements for those seeking to rent these units.
Additional Housing Programs
PHAs administer housing programs funded by the U.S. Department of HUD, PHAs may also administer state-funded programs as well as other programs funded locally.

Life in Elwood
We are a city where people fly the American flag, sit on their porches and visit with their neighbors, play ball with their children, walk their dogs or ride bicycles on warm summer evenings. Whether you live in the north or south end of town, you can hear the excitement at the ball-parks on summer evenings. We enjoy picnics and concerts at Callaway Park and line the streets for a parade. We honor our veterans and those who gave their lives for us on Memorial Day and stand at attention as the flag passes by. We honor our hometown heroes and attend the church of our choice. All in all, we are a city on the move – one to be proud of and call home. Elwood is one of Madison County’s quaint small towns, yet via State Roads 37 and 28, is only 20 to 30 minutes away from the bustle of Noblesville, one of the country’s fastest-growing areas, Anderson, Marion, Kokomo, and Muncie. Elwood has invested millions in improvements to roadways and streetscapes and upgrades to the local municipal center, hospital and schools.
