Affordable Housing for Essential Workers

At Morgan, we believe in providing high-quality affordable housing for critical workers in the communities where they are needed. Our Essential Workforce Program offers discounted rental rates to law enforcement, military personnel, first responders, teachers, nurses, bankers, workers in retail and restaurants, and many others who qualify based on earning wages below area median income levels. Renters that make between $39,120 and $74,560 may qualify to live in one of our Essential Housing apartment homes.

More About Morgan Apartment Communities

Live Local, Without Compromise

At Morgan, we believe in a world where you can thrive within the community you choose to call home. Which is why we launched the Essential Housing program, a comprehensive rental housing platform that aligns rental rates for those making between 60% and 80% of the area's average median income instead of the leading rates in the market.

Through the Essential Housing program, which is offered at several of our communities in the Houston and San Antonio areas, our goal is to offer affordable living opportunities that better align with the middle income lifestyle.

Who qualifies? Those that earn between 60% and 80% of the area’s median income levels. If you think you may qualify and are interested in learning more, please contact us.

"I recently moved to Houston and wanted to stay in a luxurious apartment complex. I couldn’t have found a better one in Azure, the apartments are beautiful and the location is perfect. That along with the rental assistance program has given me the luxury of living in this amazing complex while being more than affordable. I highly recommend for anyone out there that wants the best of both worlds. Thank me later!"

"I recently moved to Arlo Westchase on the Essential Housing Program. I never thought that my boys and I could afford to live in such luxury apartments. Being on this program helps me do more with my children and grandkids. It’s really Living at Arlo has been a great experience for us. They have an amazing team, working hard to get you in on a timely manner."

"The program has been very beneficial to me. After returning from a tour overseas, the market was not so forgiving to a service member. When it comes to our benefits, we have a set stipend for living expenses. Being able to find affordable housing here, shows that someone does appreciate our service."
