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.
636 El Camino transformed a former mobile home park into an affordable housing community for families. The community includes 109 affordable rental apartments, community gardens, children’s outdoor play areas, a fitness center, a computer lab and 5,700 square feet of retail space on the ground level facing El Camino Real. Twenty units are set aside for individuals with mental health challenges who receive additional supportive services from the County of San Mateo Department of Behavioral Health and Recovery Services. Located in close proximity to major bus lines, BART, South San Francisco public schools, restaurants and shopping, 636 El Camino supports the city’s vision to provide high-density, transit-oriented development along the El Camino corridor. It is the recepient of two awards: Real Estate Deal of the Year in the Affordable Housing Category from the San Francisco Business Times and the Green Building Award from Sustainable San Mateo County.
Because 636 El Camino 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.
