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.
The Nightingale creates 30 affordable apartments in a supportive housing community for Los Angeles County Department of Health Services clients who have experienced homelessness.
Located in the Florence-Firestone neighborhood of unincorporated Los Angeles County, the four-story building has 29 one-bedroom units reserved for individuals who have experienced homelessness. Residents receive wraparound intensive supportive services from The People Concern and additional resident programs from Linc.
Community areas include multi-purpose space to host a variety of resident programs, a computer lab, and private meeting rooms for service providers and case managers. Resident services focus on housing stability and creating a community of support. They include life skills workshops, gardening, bingo, intro to computers, food bank distribution, sustainability workshops, and healthy cooking classes.
Because The Nightingale participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
