Workforce Units

Most Garner Community Development Group homes are reserved for income-qualified residents, with maximum household earnings tied to HUD and City of Philadelphia AMI limits and clearly communicated for each property. Monthly rents are structured to remain affordable within those limits, typically not exceeding a set percentage of gross household income and often including water or common-area maintenance in the base rent. Standard application screening may include a low application fee, security deposit equal to one month’s rent (unless assistance programs apply), and transparent policies on late fees or pet fees so applicants know the full cost of housing before they sign a lease.
