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 Whittier is a 60-unit, tax credit community for low-income families, with one bedroom , two bedroom and three-bedroom units in its design.
The ground-level floor of this community houses offices for the manager and social service coordinator, along with a large community room for neighborhood use.
The “Podium Level” of the community houses public spaces that are for the use of the residents only and include: locked mailboxes, laundry facilities, a basketball half-court, a landscaped courtyard with three distinct play areas, picnic tables and barbeque area. There will be a community room with a kitchen and a learning center equipped with computers.
Project-Based Vouchers
Because The Whittier 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.
