Hillmont Gardens is a 124-unit non-profit elderly apartment facility sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County through HUD’s Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program.
Applicants must be 62 or older, and/or mobility impaired. Income limits and other federal rules apply. Residents pay 30% of their income for rent and the remainder is funded by HUD. The facility is 100% occupied with a waiting list for residency.
Residents have access to a range of programs and services. Some of these include Case Management and Referral, Socialization and Recreational programs, Nutrition and Meals programs, Consumer Education and Protection, and Transportation. The facility has also been rated among the elite in the nation on physical inspections conducted by HUD’s Real Estate Assessment Center.
There is a tremendous shortage of affordable housing in Broward County. Hillmont Gardens is a tremendous asset to the community where our residents have a wonderful home at an affordable price.
Hillmont Gardens was founded by the Area Agency in 1987. Thus, 2022 marks our 35 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION - with many more to come!
