It is not permissible to falsify a salary lower than the actual salary to obtain public housing, due to the deception involved and taking what is unlawful. The actual salary statement must be submitted. If the authority approves, then that is good; otherwise, no, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Beware of lying, for lying leads to immorability, and immorality leads to the Fire," and "Whoever cheats us is not of us."
