HousingPoint can list a wide variety of affordable, accessible, and special needs housing. All sizes and types of units are included - from single room occupancy (SRO) and studios, to apartments and single-family homes. HousingPoint also lists affordable houses for sale. And to quickly locate housing that meets the renters criteria, HousingPoint provides robust search tools.

HousingPoint provides a variety of search tools and criteria:

		Search by location (pre-defined areas) or by address (search within the radius of a specific address).
		Search by properties that accept Section 8 Vouchers and participate in other rental programs.
		Search by accessible units with five different levels of accessibility.
		Search by special needs housing for seniors, people with disabilities, mental illness, HIV/AIDS, criminal history, and others.

HousingPoint searches return:

		Detailed descriptions about the property, including which utility costs are included in rent and move-in costs.
		A map of surrounding amenities, including public transit, schools, parks, grocery stores, and hospitals (if made available).
		Photos of the property and units. Rental applications, screening criteria, and pet policies.

HousingPoint special features for renters:

		Renters can create, save, edit, and amend lists with units of interest.
		Renters can step through the user friendly screens of the Housing Calculator to help them determine their median family income and affordable rent.

As an added resource, affordable homes for sale are also listed and returned in searches for rental housing when the estimated monthly mortgage payments meet the rent criteria set. This helps some renters become aware that they may be able to buy a home.
