Dale Apartments listing shows 60 Section 8 units at updated rent range

A mid-January update to a public housing listing shows Dale Apartments in Allendale is recorded as having 60 Section 8–approved units, with estimated monthly rents placed between $216 and $381 based on Allendale County 2026 fair-market rent assumptions. The listing notes the property and pricing data were updated in mid-January 2026 and directs readers to contact property managers or the property detail page for precise address, contact numbers and waitlist information.

The figures matter because county fair-market rents shape how Housing Choice Vouchers are administered and how much subsidy residents receive when they lease privately owned units. An estimated rent range of $216–$381 may influence which households can successfully use vouchers at Dale Apartments and whether landlords will accept subsidized tenants under current payment standards. The listing makes clear the rent numbers are estimates calculated from Allendale County’s 2026 fair-market rent assumptions rather than fixed rent offers from property management.

For residents, the immediate impact is practical. Voucher holders actively searching for housing can consider Dale Apartments as a potential option, but must confirm current vacancy, the property's exact rental charges and whether the unit sizes available match voucher size requirements. For those on local waiting lists, the update could signal a new place to pursue or prompt clarification from the county housing office about how these units will be prioritized and certified under the program.

For local policymakers and elected officials, the entry underscores the ongoing supply questions that shape housing policy and voter concerns about affordability. Sixty Section 8–approved units at a single complex represent a measurable portion of subsidized housing capacity in a rural county where options are limited. County leaders who set local priorities for zoning, rental inspections and voucher administration should track how listed fair-market rents and available units translate into actual leases and occupancy.

The listing also highlights institutional transparency and the need for up-to-date public information. Accurate, accessible listings help residents, landlords and administrators make timely housing decisions and hold agencies accountable for how federal and county rent standards are applied.

What comes next for residents is verification: confirm the property’s address and contact details, check current availability and waitlist procedures, and consult the county housing authority about voucher payment standards. For the community, the update is a reminder that housing supply, subsidy levels and local policy choices all interact to determine whether Allendale families find stable, affordable homes.
