A limited number of low-income or affordable housing options exist in Lancaster City and Lancaster County. Most are general occupancy which includes, but is not specially designed for, older adults. Government-funded HUD Section 8 housing is available for those with very low incomes, and affordable housing options for those with lower incomes exist with the help of housing tax credits, such as Mountain View Terrace, a Landis Communities partnership with HDC Mid-Atlantic. However, both types of housing have long waiting lists, which is difficult for those in urgent need of a safe place to live.
