Located in one of the most premiere locations in the city of Belmont, Firehouse Square is situated within walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, parks, mass transit and more. The building offers mixed-use, affordable housing, and is loaded with amenities, for families and individuals, including those with supportive housing needs. When you move into one of the pet-friendly homes, you’ll enjoy community green spaces, a BBQ picnic area, playground, community room, bike room and much more. A mix of studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units are offered.
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 Firehouse Square 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.
