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.
Homestead Park was Sunnyvale’s first subsidized housing development and MidPen Housing’s second new development, renovated in 2001. To provide maximum open space on the ten acre site, three-story buildings with private patios or decks were constructed, a feature praised by the City of Sunnyvale’s Planning Director, who noted that more open space was provided at Homestead Park than was generally encountered in Sunnyvale. Homestead Park shares a community building with neighboring MidPen property, Moulton Plaza, which provides a community room and a computer center. There are also laundry facilities, outdoor common areas, and extensive playgrounds and lawns. Senior units are grouped together nearest to shopping and transportation, with their own laundry room and outdoor common area.
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 Homestead Park 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.
