Woodlands Newell is a newly renovated affordable housing community for families in East Palo Alto. In 2013, two neighboring MidPen properties communities became one to more efficiently refinance and renovate them together. In fall 2014, renovation completed and the two properties were renamed Woodlands Newell. The extensive rehabilitation involved both interior and exterior renovations. Some of these enhancements included: new interior flooring, cabinetry, and bathroom fixtures; new exterior siding and stucco; double-pane windows; seismic upgrades to the carports; and energy-efficient features such as a solar hot water system. Woodlands Newell’s community building was also completely rehabilitated, and now includes a kitchen, computer lab, management offices, and an After School Program classroom.
Because Woodlands Newell participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.

"After years of applying for Section 8 and never being called, this website is the reason I finally received my voucher, and just moved into my new apartment! If I had not started receiving alerts from Affordable Housing Online of waiting list openings in my area, I would not be where I am today!"
