Since this property is a LIHTC property that might not have a project based rental assistance contract, it is likely that it either has no waiting list or the waiting list is shorter than properties with rental assistance. You should contact the property to verify.
Note: Affordable Housing Online has not confirmed the waiting list status directly with the property. This waiting list status forecast is based on our housing experts' knowledge of similar properties. You should always confirm this status directly with the property.
The Starling is a new construction project that consists of 70 units in one four-story building. The community is dedicated to families and individuals and consists of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom units and 3-bedroom units. Located on the western side of the City of Alameda, The Starling is a part of the redevelopment of the former Naval Air Station in Alameda.
The Starling incorporates innovative green design elements that maximize energy and water efficiency and make use of recycled materials. As such, the project optimizes energy and resource efficiency, which provides a healthier home for residents and improves affordability by minimizing resident’s utility costs.
Some of the amenities offered include a community center, community gardens, a computer lab, gated parking, on-site laundry, playground, bicycle storage, and a bbq grilling area.
Pets are allowed in accordance with Eden Housing Management, Inc.’s Pet Policy. A pet deposit of $150 is required and additional items including pet records including immunization & registration is required with notification and approval by Property Management prior to moving in a pet.
This LIHTC property is among the most common types of affordable rental housing in the United States. The LIHTC program only provides subsidies to the building’s owner at construction. No subsidies are provided directly to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. Our data suggests The Starling does not participate in any project-based rent subsidy program. This means you must earn enough to pay the full rent or have your own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. For that reason, LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists or even none at all. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's. Because they tend to be newer, these properties are more likely to have larger units, more amenities, and greater tenant service offerings than other affordable housing programs. This property might be right for you if you have a housing voucher or enough income to pay rent, are looking for a high quality property, or need immediate availability. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
