What This Site Is
Waythrough Project (waythroughproject.com) is a free educational resource designed to help people navigate affordable housing programs, benefits, and related services. We provide guides, tools, and information to make these systems easier to understand. By using this site, you agree to these terms.
This Is Not Legal, Financial, or Professional Advice
Everything on this site is educational and informational. It is not legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or a substitute for working with a licensed professional. Housing laws, program rules, and eligibility requirements vary by state, county, and city — and they change over time. While we do our best to keep information accurate and up to date, we cannot guarantee that every detail applies to your specific situation.
If you're facing eviction, foreclosure, discrimination, or any legal matter, please consult a qualified attorney or contact a HUD-approved housing counselor. We link to free legal aid resources throughout the site to help you find one.
No Guarantees
We cannot guarantee that you will qualify for any program, receive any benefit, or achieve any particular outcome by following the information on this site. Eligibility for housing programs, benefits, and assistance is determined by the agencies that run them — not by us. We provide information about how these programs work and how to apply, but we have no control over application outcomes.
Interactive Tools
Our interactive tools — including the Where to Start wizard and the Fair Market Rent lookup — are designed to provide general guidance based on the information you provide. They run entirely in your browser and do not store any data. The results are informational only and should not be treated as official determinations of eligibility, benefit amounts, or legal rights. Always verify information with the relevant agency or program.
The Fair Market Rent and Income Limits tool uses data from HUD's public API. While we display this data as accurately as possible, HUD is the authoritative source. For official figures, visit huduser.gov.
Ask a Question
Our Ask a Question feature lets you email us housing-related questions. We do our best to respond with helpful, accurate information, but our answers are not professional advice. We're a small team sharing knowledge from experience — not a law firm, government agency, or licensed counseling service. For complex legal or financial situations, we'll point you toward appropriate professional resources.
External Links
This site links to government agencies, nonprofits, legal aid organizations, and other external resources. We link to these sites because we believe they're helpful, but we don't control their content, availability, or accuracy. We're not responsible for what happens on third-party websites. If you find a broken or problematic link, please let us know at [email protected].
Use of This Site
You're welcome to use this site for personal, educational, and informational purposes. You may share links to our content freely. Please don't reproduce large portions of our content on other websites without permission.
You agree not to use this site to do anything illegal, harmful, or disruptive — including attempting to interfere with the site's operation, misrepresent yourself as affiliated with Waythrough Project, or use our content for commercial purposes without permission.
Limitation of Liability
Waythrough Project and its contributors provide this site and its content "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site, reliance on its content, or inability to access it. This includes but is not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
In plain language: we're doing our best to help, but we can't be held responsible if something doesn't work out the way you hoped. Housing is complicated, and outcomes depend on many factors beyond our control.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. If we do, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
