Affordable housing is one of the most pressing challenges facing Delaware residents today—especially in the lower part of the state. For many individuals and families, the search for a safe, clean, and affordable place to call home can feel overwhelming and, at times, hopeless.
In Sussex and Kent Counties, the rising cost of rent, combined with limited inventory and long waiting lists for income-based housing, has created a housing bottleneck that is leaving vulnerable individuals with few options. From seniors on fixed incomes to working families and individuals exiting homelessness, many are being priced out of stability.
At Milford Advocacy for the Homeless (MAH), we understand how difficult this process can be. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated Affordable Apartment Resource Page—a one-stop resource to help you take the next step forward.
On our page, you’ll find:
- A downloadable List of Income-Based Apartments in Lower Delaware
- Contact information for local housing authorities and support agencies
We designed this page to be user-friendly, printable, and free to access—so whether you’re applying for the first time or re-entering the housing market, you have trusted information at your fingertips.

The Reality We Face
In Delaware, particularly in Sussex County, new apartment complexes are often built at market rate or higher. Affordable units—especially those with rental caps tied to income—are increasingly rare and difficult to obtain. Some complexes have waiting lists that are 2–5 years long. Others have stopped accepting applications altogether.
This crisis doesn’t just affect individuals—it impacts families, children, caregivers, and even local businesses whose employees are struggling to find places to live within their communities.
What You Can Do
- Explore our resources to find potential housing leads and application support.
- Share the resource page with others who might be searching.
- Advocate for more affordable housing options by reaching out to your local representatives and zoning boards.
- Support nonprofits like MAH that are working daily to connect neighbors with the resources they need.
Milford Advocacy for the Homeless is here for you—whether you need help today or are planning for tomorrow. We believe that everyone deserves a safe place to live, and we are committed to walking alongside you on that journey.
