The Golden Inn and Village provides multi-generational affordable housing to families and seniors in a 7.3 acre campus-like setting that promotes outdoor recreational use and social interaction. The grounds are designed with walking trails, lush drought resistive landscape and preserved historic oak trees.
The family apartments include 8 one-bedroom apartments, 10 two-bedroom apartments, and 10 three-bedroom apartments. Amenities include all appliances, laundry facilities, a community center, and a park like playground with BBQ area. One unit is designated for the resident manager.
The independent living senior development includes 20 studio units and 40 one-bedroom units. Each unit is equipped with an independent kitchen and there is a commercial kitchen adjacent to the dining facility in the community center. The common use area includes a beauty parlor, computer room, library, card room, and other multi-use rooms for clubs and organizations. Throughout the common area are intimate seating areas where residents can read a book, sip coffee, and form lasting friendships. There is a central courtyard with ample seating for seniors and visitors to take in the view of surrounding rolling hills and vineyards.
The senior development has an onsite activities director that coordinates ongoing senior activities and services that are provided free of charge by members of the community through The Rona Barrett Foundation fundraising and volunteer efforts.
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 Golden Inn & Village 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.
