All apartments at Tucker House are Section 8 rental subsidy. Residents pay 30% of their adjusted income for rent and utilities.

Tucker House contains 100 one-bedroom apartments of 426 to 612 square feet, 26 efficiency apartments of 318 to 506 square feet. 14 of the apartments are designed for wheelchairs, with special kitchens, bathrooms and appointments. Special emphasis has been placed on the security and safety of the residents.

A handsome veranda was created in response to the need for a secure space where residents can "watch the action" in a protected area other than the lobby. The veranda is climate controled. The courtyard is designed to meet the need to enjoy the outside in a safe, secure but open environment. The parking lot and the entrance are placed away from the front of the building in order to diminish the institutional look from the street. Landscaping is extensive.

The several multipurpose rooms can be used for meetings, chapel services, arts and craft shows and other activities of interest to the residents.

The facility contains an elaborate fire alarm and emergency call system, and residents can monitor the entrance area through a closed video system.
