LIHTCs have a sliding scale payment structure. In theory, they're the most democratic kind of public housing that can exist. You can be a movie star and rent an apartment at a LIHTC but pay full rent because you earn so much. You can also be the poorest of the poor and have your rent subsidized to the max (30% of your income). Everyone has the same kind of apartment and the same amenities, modest though they may be.

I'm answering from Pennsylvania and am appalled at the heartless downvoting of your extremely decent and intelligent question. This is the kind of behavior that makes me hate this platform.

For what it's worth, I would call the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency and ask to speak with a counselor. They will put you in the right direction (phfa.org/renters).

BEST OF LUCK!
