Since this property may have a Section 8 Property Based Rental Assistance contract with rental assistance available to its residents, it is likely the property has a waiting list.

Raspberry Ridge is a landmark building located in downtown Hopkins. The apartment building opened in 1924 as Hopkins' first high school. Later, when a new high school was constructed, the building became South Jr. High, which was later saved from the wrecking ball and converted into the apartment complex it is today, utilizing the existing brick structure, which created unique apartments. Townhomes were built to complement the apartments and provide additional affordable housing for families. Raspberry Ridge is adjacent to the Hopkins Activity Center, which is run by the City of Hopkins. The Center offers a full range of social and recreational activities for both seniors and families, has a full size gymnasium, lobby rooms, and a noon hour congregate dining program Monday through Friday. Raspberry Ridges offer unique floor plans, multiple laundry facilities, well-lit parking lot, and is located near shopping and bus lines.
This property participates in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program meaning the rent for many, if not all, units is based on a tenant's income. You would not pay more than 30% of your income for rent. To qualify, you must earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), which you can find on this page’s income chart. Also, project-based Section 8 properties tend to have longer waiting lists, with some with waiting lists going out for years. This property was also financed through a HUD-insured private mortgage meaning the owner has oversight from both a private bank and HUD. This usually means Raspberry Ridge is kept in good condition. Since this property has a project-based Section 8 contract, you won't need a Section 8 voucher to live here. If you have a voucher, you may have to give it up to live here.

Applying for housing with bad credit.
Most HUD housing programs, like Section 8 and Public Housing, do not have a credit check. But Section 8 landlords will likely require one for an available unit.Sabrina Roberts says:
