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.
Located in Unincorporated Marin County, The Fireside provides 50 new affordable apartments and a community center for lower income seniors, families and individuals with special needs. In partnership with Homeward Bound of Marin and Marin County Community Mental Health, a robust package of supportive social services is offered to Fireside residents. The Fireside was developed by Citizens Housing Corporation and recently transferred to Eden Housing, Inc.
This transit‐oriented, GreenPoint Rated community also features the preservation of the historic Fireside Inn building which now serves as management offices and a community center, computer lab, and Kiddie Corner for resident use. In addition, low‐rise residential buildings have replaced the dilapidated 1950s motel structure that occupied the site until its demolition in 2006.
Enriched by the multigenerational and diverse socioeconomic character of the community, The Fireside is affordable to households earning 15 percent to 60 percent of the Area Median Income, and includes 20 units for families and seniors with special needs or transitioning from homelessness.
Because Fireside Apartments 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.
