The Idaho Apartments is a 29 SRO unit complex serving the formerly homeless population. Units are set aside for those with mental health issues or HIV. This was a joint effort with many partners including the City of El Cerrito, and the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County. Located on the border of El Cerrito and Richmond, it is close to public transportation and within walking distance to many shops including El Cerrito Plaza. The units come furnished with a bed, table and chair with a community room, laundry on site and some limited parking is available. The onsite service staff provide through Rubicon Programs do many different activities with the tenants include crafts and outings and are available to the residents if requested.
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 Idaho Apartments 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. As a LIHTC property that chose the 40/60 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 40% of its units for families and individuals earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with lower incomes. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
