Families Forward is happy to announce the upcoming availability of two (2) Individual Affordable Housing units: three (3) bedrooms, two (2) baths, with garages in the City of Irvine, California. Households must qualify per Families Forward’s Affordable Housing screening criteria including, but not limited to, income, credit, household size, occupancy and previous rental history. Units are income-restricted at Low Income (50% AMI) adjusted for household size, with a priority for Irvine connected households, as permissible by law.

Please refer to the 2023 HUD income guidelines.

How to Apply

Per Families Forward’s eligibility criteria, to be considered for tenancy, households must adhere to Families Forward’s lease expectations and program guidelines. The opportunity to apply does not guarantee tenancy.

There will be no Families Forward waitlist. In the future, once a unit becomes vacant, the opportunity to apply will be on a first come first serve basis.

The following criteria must be met to be considered for the housing opportunity:

1. Household must be experiencing literal homelessness, be connected through the Family Coordinated Entry System and be connected to a Housing Service Provider.
2. Occupancy standards require a maximum of 7 household members.
3. Household must have at least one (1) minor age child
4. Priority shall be given to prospective tenants with direct ties to the City of Irvine including persons who currently reside in Irvine, currently work in Irvine, or have minor dependent children enrolled in schools in Irvine.
5. Households must be able to qualify per Families Forward income, occupancy guidelines, and screening criteria which may include background check for criminal records and eviction history.
