Waitlist Forecast

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.

Peninsula Station is the result of a visionary partnership between the City of San Mateo, the County of San Mateo and MidPen Housing. Pen Station received the 2011 Green Building Award from Sustainable San Mateo County, reflecting the commitment to sustainability shared by key partners. Built on the site of a former Good Year Tire Center, Pen Station is now a vibrant, mixed-use community with a large central courtyard featuring two play areas for children, podium landscaping and space for a community garden. Located a quarter mile from the Hillsdale Caltrain Station and across the street from Hillsdale Shopping Center, Pen Station provides transit-oriented housing, which supports the Grand Boulevard Initiative to transform El Camino Real into a safe and welcoming place to live, work and play.

Dave's Thoughts On Peninsula Station

Because Peninsula Station 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.
