Who can live in Cornerstone Apartments? Are there income restrictions?

The applicant must demonstrate a financial ability to pay his/her monthly contribution toward the rent of the unit.

Property Management will verify the amount and source of the applicant's income, assets, and expenses. The credit, criminal and eviction records of the applicant will be obtained through a credit reporting agency with service fees payable by the applicant.

Income Limits: The below income guidelines are set for all residents of affordable units. They reflect the current maximum amounts of household income for residents of affordable units and are updated on an annual basis. If your household income exceeds these guidelines, you are not eligible for residence in an affordable unit. It is impossible for us to bend, or give exception to, these guidelines. The Cornerstone Apartments have the legal responsibility to ensure that all affordable unit residents conform to them at time of move-in.
