Below Market Rate Rental Program

PAHC Housing Services, LLC administers the City of Palo Alto’s BMR Housing Rental Program, a program that provides rental apartments in Palo Alto for low and moderate-income households. BMR rental units are leased at rates below prevailing market rents and rent increases are subject to certain limitations.

BMR renters are selected from a Waiting List and must meet special income and other eligibility requirements (see current income limits). BMR Rental units are located in the market rate rental projects shown below.  Project photos are available by clicking the links below or to the left.

The property managers at each project maintain separate Waiting Lists for their BMR units. If you are interested in renting a BMR unit please contact the project property managers at the numbers shown for information about Waiting Lists, current rents, and vacancies.
