About Alexander Waites Elderly Housing
Alexander Waites Elderly Housing is a HUD-assisted rental property in Jackson, Mississippi. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 50 total units, of which 50 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and 202/8 NC. That means the resident's share of rent is generally limited to roughly 30% of adjusted household income, with HUD covering the remainder of the contract rent paid to the owner.
This property primarily serves elderly residents (62+). About 88% of current residents are 62 or older, which is consistent with a Section 202 supportive housing community.
A significant share of residents — about 80% — are people with disabilities, suggesting this property is structured around accessibility and supportive services.
