- It is operated by the Marion County Housing Authority of Illinois, and managed by CMC, Inc, with certain legal powers given to it by the State and Federal Law.
- Residence is limited to those families with certain income limits.
- Rent is based on total family income and is reviewed at least once a year or any time there is a change in income or family composition.
