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.
Willow Housing provides studio and one-bedroom apartments serving formerly homeless veterans and veterans at risk of imminent homelessness. Located on the edge of the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System campus in Menlo Park, Willow Housing provides quality permanent affordable housing in close proximity to services and transportation. A landscaped outdoor patio with raised plant beds and walking paths connects residents to the outdoors directly from the community room. Inside, a gym and computer/TV lounge are nearby, providing the ground floor with ample common areas to promote community-building.
To improve accessibility, grade changes between the indoor and outdoor areas were minimized, in-unit showers have a low threshold, and an elevator is available to access the second floor.
Because Willow Housing 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. Depending on the number of HOME-designated units, additional units may have even lower household income requirements and corresponding lower rent caps.
