Am I Eligible for PPL's Affordable Housing?
In order to apply for housing with PPL, you must meet the following requirements:
2 Years Good Rental History
- No Unlawful Detainers within the last 24 months
- No history of damage or money owed to previous landlord(s)
Verifiable Gross Income
- All PPL rental units have a maximum income limit, ranging from 30-60% of Area Median Income.
- Minimum monthly income of twice the rent charged on the apartment required (ex. $650 apartment requires $1,300 monthly income).
Credit History
- Poor credit history is not a disqualifier.
- Outstanding balance due to past landlord(s) and/or utilities may disqualify an applicant.
Occupancy Guidelines
Please note that these are the minimum and the maximum number of people who may occupy apartments with the number of bedrooms noted:
- Efficiency: 1-2 occupants
- 1 Bedroom: 1-2 occupants
- 2 Bedroom: 2-4 occupants
- 3 Bedroom: 3-6 occupants
Criminal Background
PPL will not deny an application based solely on arrests or dismissed charges. Eligibility for PPL Rental Housing is subject to a criminal background check. Residency may be denied due to criminal history.
Waiver Process
You may apply for a Waiver of Rental Criteria if you feel you don’t meet the standard criteria.
I’m eligible. How do I apply?
If you meet PPL’s Rental Criteria (above), please call an individual property office for current availability and to schedule a showing.
Please note that availability is unfortunately very limited at this moment. A $40 fee per adult is required to process your rental housing application.
What is Supportive Housing?
Supportive Housing units are reserved for individuals and families with the greatest need—those who face complex challenges, including homelessness, a disability, chemical dependency, or a criminal background.
PPL provides rent subsidies and support services to help youth and adults restore self-reliance and pride. Learn more about our service approach.
If you need supportive housing, please contact your county.
Eligibility for Supportive Housing units is determined by Ramsey and Hennepin’s Coordinated Entry Programs. All of our supportive housing residents come from a county referral.
