I am seeing that most senior housing is for ages 65, 62, or at the least 55. I've been told that some places accept age 50 but I can't find this anywhere. Has anyone here seen that or do you know if it exists? Thank you.
You are going to have to check housing in your area. Some have written in to their documents that a certain % can be less than 55 or whatever. "Senior housing" is pretty general. Are you looking for income supported housing or something specific?

I agree.
Many "senior" apartments or complexes have the rules that if one of the owners/renters of a unit is that age that is enough. As an example, if it is 55 and above complex and the husband is 55 and his wife is 35 they qualify. Also, some/many complexes allow a percentage of units to go below the age requirement as long as adults are renting the unit.
One thing that many senior complexes are very strict on are having children living in the complex.
Also, some government "senior housing" is really "senior and handicapped/disabled housing" and the people with disabilities can be adults of any age.
Are you looking for places that offer goverment assistance?
Do you have any disabilities?
What is your price range?
For State goverment programs I would look for a department in the state that handles seniors. Your local goverments may also have a department that does this.
Local Council on Aging? I think there are different age requirements depending upon whether it's federally or state funded. One is age 62, the other is age 65. If you're not looking for a subsidy then it's usually 55, from what I've seen. Age 50 isn't really senior, although AARP would like us to think so. The age 62 and age 65 places are also for people with disabilities though.
Sun City Grand in Surprise Arizona allows age 45. It is a community of mostly or all private homes and has a very strict rules about property maintenance.
Most of the ones I have seen are 55+ or for people with a disability. I believe the disability can get you in sooner.
Yes, this is right. For subsidized housing, some - not all - of the senior apartments will also accept disabled persons of any adult age. They are usually 55+ or 62+. Another option is to look for a subsidized family complex. If the OP is single, you would probably only be accepted in a 1 bedroom or studio apartment, unless you require a caregiver. They usually have minimum and maximum occupancy limits.
To find them, Google your city and/or county and "housing authority," then see if they have a list of subsidized apartments. If not, call them and ask if they have one. Then, you usually need to call them all and ask them if they'd take you and then ask how to get on their waiting list, if nothing is currently available.
