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.

This community consists of one five-story building with 50 apartments and commercial/retail space on the first floor. The building contains one and two bedroom units with a targeted population of seniors aged 62 and over.
The building is composed of a classic courtyard design with ground level retail/residential entry and residential units above surrounding the central courtyard. The amenities package features a large community room with a separate living room, kitchen, restroom and computer areas overlooking both the boulevard and courtyard. Crenshaw Villas is a smoke-free community.
The apartments have been designed with an open plan concept in the common areas of the units to maximize the space and feel of the unit. All units feature private balcony space off the living room which provides another common space for relaxing and living. The kitchens have plenty of storage space and feature energy star rated appliances and solid surface countertops. The bedrooms have ample closet space and will utilize natural light.
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 Crenshaw Villas 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.
