Pollywog Creek Senior Housing offers affordable housing for 29 elderly households in LaBelle. Funded under the HUD 202 Supportive Housing for Elderly program, Pollywog Creek Senior opened in late 2018. Built around a tree-lined park replete with picnic pavilion, paths, sports courts and tot lot, the new senior apartments border parents and children (even relatives) in town homes to the north, east and west in our adjacent 64-unit Pollywog Creek Commons development. Residents can mingle among all ages in the spacious clubhouse or on the commons, or visit with their peers in their own senior environment. The site is easily accessible to shopping and downtown LaBelle.
Section 202 (elderly)
Since this property was built or renovated using funding from HUD's Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program, residency is usually restricted to households earning 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less with at least one member age 62 years or older. Tenants pay rent based on household income. This rent is usually the highest of the following three amounts: either 30% adjusted monthly income, or 10% unadjusted monthly income, or, if receiving welfare assistance, the housing costs portion of this assistance.
