Century Village is an affordable housing community that provides 100 rental apartments for low-income individuals and families in Fremont. Originally built in 1972, Century Village was acquired by MidPen Housing in 1995 in order to convert it from market-rate to affordable housing. Century Village underwent an extensive rehabilitation in January 2013 and welcomed all residents back by the fall of 2013. The rehabilitation includes both interior and exterior renovations that improve the community’s long-term performance, appearance, and residents’ quality of life. Century Village’s renovation also significantly enhanced the community building with a better layout and expanded spaces for offices, multifunctional community areas, and a large After School Program classroom which will support curriculum from the high-performing school district in which Century Village is located. It is close to BART, major bus lines, and shopping centers.

Dave's Thoughts On Century Village

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 Century Village 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. Since the property also utilizes a FHA insured private mortgage, the property is subject to Federal physical condition requirements and REAC inspections. 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.
