Gifford Tower, a 12 story high-rise apartment complex, located at 2510 N. Clarkson St. and Stanton Tower, an 11 story high-rise, at 2600 N Clarkson St., are two public housing units the Fremont Housing Authority oversees. Both Gifford and Stanton Towers operate under the rules and regulation of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In order to qualify for either tower, a person must be elderly, disabled or handicapped, and/or qualify as a small family. Occupancy standards dictate the number of persons allowed per 1 bedroom unit, therefore, in times of high vacancy rates, eligible small families of 1 or 2 persons may occupy a 1 bedroom unit. In order to qualify financially, an applicant's gross yearly income cannot exceed HUD income limits.  Please contact us if you have any questions.

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program

Fremont Housing Authority issues 133 vouchers to families (program participants) who qualify under HUD income guidelines and housing authority tenant screening criteria.  Eligible participants for the voucher program work directly with landlords in the jurisdiction of the housing authority to select the type of housing (apartment, duplex, single family homes) that best fits their need.

When the voucher program participant has found suitable housing, which passes a Housing Quality Standards inspection, and the Contract Rent meets the requirements of Rent Reasonableness and HUD Payment Standards set for the housing authority, then the family is given approval to sign the lease with the landlord.  

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides funding to the housing authority to distribute Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) directly to the landlord on behalf of the participant.  The participant is also responsible for a portion of the contract rent based on their income.  This is called the TTP or Total Tenant Payment.  The housing authority has a $50.00 minimum rent policy for the participant.  Utility Allowances are also calculated into the rent formula to assist participants with utilities.   The HAP and TTP equal the contract rent on the housing unit. 

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program gives preference to families living and working within the Fremont Housing Authority area of jurisdiction.
