Affordable Housing at Aeon.
Most of our communities at Aeon serve households earning 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less. Our properties operate under different funding programs that determine eligibility and rent structures. Some communities offer deeply affordable housing with income-based rent, while others offer attainable housing with flexible application processes and no ongoing income recertification.
Whether you’re looking for housing with rental assistance or an affordable home without income-based rent, Aeon offers a variety of options.
