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.
Walnut Studios is a 4-story 100% affordable housing development, consisting of 23 studio units and 2-bedroom staff unit, in San Carlos, CA. Of the 23 studios, 6 are restricted for tenants at or below 30% AMI, 6 at 40% AMI, 6 at 50% AMI, 5 at 60% AMI, and 2 for formerly homeless tenants. Catholic Charities will provide service coordination for the residents and case management for the formerly homeless tenants. The building features 20 parking spaces, bike storage, community room, laundry facilities, and outdoor terraces. The project is located just two blocks from Rt. 82 (El Camino Real), a block away from the shops on Laurel St, and walking distance to the San Carlos CalTrain station.
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 Walnut Studios 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.
