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.

Built on former agricultural land along Main Street in downtown Half Moon Bay, Main Street Park construction began in the early 1990s and was completed in two phases: 36 affordable family units in 1996, and 28 units in 2001. Its first phase recently underwent an extensive rehabilitation. Main Street Park maintains the charming, small-town feel of Main Street with front porches and traditional coastal architectural details like shiplap siding. At the center of the site is a small public park with a play structure and open space. Adjacent to the park is the community building, computer center, and management office. Main Street Park was awarded the Gold Nugget award for Best Affordable (Attached) Property at the 2002 Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC) and Project of the Year from Merritt Community Capital Corporation.

Dave's Thoughts On Main Street Park

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 Main Street Park 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.
