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.
Tyrella Gardens is an affordable rental housing community that has served low-income families since its construction in 1971. With the community at risk of converting to market-rate housing, MidPen Housing purchased and rehabilitated Tyrella Gardens in 1989 in order to keep rent affordable. A major renovation of Tyrella Gardens was completed in 2004, and included new kitchens, unit flooring, heating and water systems, energy-efficient windows, and outdoor siding. There is a brand-new playground, tree-lined courtyard, and a 1,200- square foot community building with a computer center and communal kitchen. The community building provides space for classes, meetings, and an afterschool program. Tyrella Gardens is conveniently located near major highways and job centers in Silicon Valley.
Because Tyrella Gardens 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.
