Autumn House History
Autumn House Elderly Apartments were built in 1974 as part of a joint effort between the city and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

How Much Will it Cost Me?
The cost of rent at the Autumn House Elderly Apartments is different for every resident that lives there. That's because your rent is customized to fit your own personal budget. Each resident pays 30% of their "adjusted" income as rent. "Adjust" income is the amount of income an individual has after medical expenses have been deducted.
The Housing Commission will supply gas and water for each resident. You will have a small electric bill each month; however, the Housing Commission will deduct amount off your monthly rent to compensate for electric expense.

ALSO, if your income ever decreases so will the cost of your rent.

The Ferndale Housing Commission is an Equal Opportunity Housing Organization.
