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 Oakland Housing Authority and Satellite Affordable Housing Associates (SAHA) partnered to substantially rehabilitate hotels in the heart of Downtown Oakland that were constructed nearly 100 years ago. The Oaks Hotel was a 7-story, 84-room single room occupancy hotel with shared bathrooms and kitchens. The 6-story Jefferson Inn Hotel was a 65-room hotel with three commercial spaces on the ground floor. The two properties were combined at the ground floor to create a single entrance and lobby on Jefferson Street with 24-hour front desk service.
The newly rehabilitated property, renamed The Savoy, provides 101 full studio apartments for very low-income residents, including formerly homeless residents and those with special needs. The ground floor commercial spaces were also rehabilitated and include the Café 15 bistro, Annie’s Café, and On a Roll delicatessen
Because Savoy 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.

Know your rights as a Section 8 tenant.
In many areas, private landlords with an available unit can refuse interested tenants who have a Section 8 voucher. Check your local laws.Libby Trahan says:
