Waitlist Forecast

Since this property may have HUD-funded Public Housing with subsidies that help pay tenants' rent, the property is likely to have a long waiting list. Housing authorities often open these waiting lists periodically. Important: Housing authorities don't always open housing waiting lists at a property-specific level or even allow applicants to choose at which property they can live. Many times, the housing authority will assign an applicant to a property without giving the applicant a choice.

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.

Buenavida has two complexes: 

  • For families there are 6 two-story buildings located at 9054 Telephone Road with 20 units.
  • For seniors and persons with disabilities there is a single 4-story building located at at 9050 Telephone Road with 75 units

The properties provide on-site amenities such as a courtyard, playground, a central laundry facility, a computer room, a community room and onsite property management.  The surrounding neighborhood land consists of single family homes, condominiums, multifamily residential, a retail/commercial center anchored by a Ralph’s grocery store, and Junipero Serra Elementary School.  There are several amenities within one mile of the site such as three bus stops, a grocery store, Junipero Serra public elementary school, pharmacy and a public park

Dave's Thoughts On Buena Vida

This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Buena Vida participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
