The affordable housing rules do not require a minimum credit score.  However, to rent a home landlords often require a minimum credit score of at least 600.  Additionally, to purchase a home you will need to qualify for a mortgage.  Banks often require a minimum credit score of at least 600 to qualify for a mortgage.
If you have not recently reviewed a copy of your credit report, now would be an excellent time to make sure there are no errors or issues that need to be resolved in order to pass a landlord’s credit check or to obtain a mortgage. For a free copy of your credit report, visit annualcreditreport.com. You only need to run one of the three report options.

Age Restricted properties are in communities where one household member must be at least 55 years old.

We are asking this because there are minimum age requirements in some Age Restricted communities.

Only check "Yes" if you are separated or your divorce is not finalized.  
In order to calculate your income and determine your eligibility at the time of your full application, you will need to provide a settlement agreement, divorce decree, or a division of assets signed by both parties.
