DeVries Place provides affordable rental homes for low-income seniors while helping to restore the character of an almost forgotten Main Street. DeVries Place artfully integrates new construction with the historic rehabilitation of one of the oldest standing buildings in Milpitas. Originally built in 1915, the Dr. Smith-DeVries House was the home and office of Dr. Rensselaer Smith, the second doctor to reside in the city. The senior community includes beautiful courtyards, a fitness center, theater room, computer room and a rooftop patio with expansive views of the East Bay hills. Winner of many awards including the highly prestigious 2009 Urban Land Institute (ULI) Award for Excellence, DeVries Place is commonly recognized as a model for best-practices in development and community revitalization.
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 DeVries Place Senior 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.
