Waitlist Forecast

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.

Wheeler Manor was built as a hospital in 1929 and remained in operation through 1989. This national registered historic building was designed by California architect William Weeks in the Mediterranean style. When it was built, it was the only hospital in the state equipped with nurse call buttons in patient rooms. While the hospital had since been converted to affordable housing, the emergency call system has been upgraded for use by the senior residents.

Wheeler Manor added a newer Building B senior housing complex in 1993. A renovation in 2018 preserved important historical components of the original hospital including the original foundation and walls, clay tile roof, double hung windows, arched entrance and tile inlay from the original structure.

Senior residents make use of activity room, community room with kitchen, dining room, fitness center, library and on-site laundry. The exterior offers gardening boxes and a landscaped courtyard with a gazebo. A new satellite senior health center operated by On Lok joins Live Oak Adult Day Care to provide vital services on-site. Public transportation is nearby and sidewalk-lined streets encourage residents to walk the quiet, surrounding neighborhood.

Dave's Thoughts On Wheeler Manor

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 Wheeler Manor 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.
