Located on the east side of the county seat at 1425 East Clark Avenue, Monticello, FL 32344 ((850) 997-2743; clarifying legacy consumer directories that occasionally mis-index 1395 S Water St or (850) 997-3905), Jefferson Arms Apartments is Jefferson County's largest federally subsidized apartment community, operating 75 apartments under a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Project-Based Section 8 Rental Assistance (PBRA) contract (HUD Contract #FL29M000039, HUD Property ID #800004196, Florida DBPR Nontransient Apartment License #NAP4300002, historical Florida Sunbiz entity Jefferson Arms Apartments of Monticello, LLC, Doc# L03000017533). Qualifying low- and very-low-income older adults (age 62+), individuals with disabilities, and households earning <=50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) pay no more than 30% of their adjusted gross monthly household income (after senior medical expense deductions) toward rent and utility allowances across studio, 1-bedroom, and multifamily floor plans. Because neither the City of Monticello nor Jefferson County operates a standalone municipal housing authority (and neighboring Tallahassee Housing Authority #FL073 is restricted to Leon County), portable tenant-based HUD Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) across Monticello (32344), Lloyd (32337), Wacissa (32361), and Lamont (32336) are administered regionally by the Northwest Florida Regional Housing Authority (NWFRHA, HUD Public Housing Agency Code #FL080, 5302 Brown St / PO Box 218, Graceville, FL 32440, (850) 263-4442 / Toll-Free (800) 365-9527, https://www.nwfloridahousing.org).
