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.

Castillo del Sol is a new service-enriched rental housing community proposed at the corner of Central and Main Streets in Midtown Ventura. Created by a public/private partnership between Homecomings & McCarthy Companies, the community of Castillo del Sol consists of 39 affordable studio apartments, a two bedroom manager’s unit, managers and services offices and a community room. Preference will be given to adults with mental, developmental disabilities or who are homeless. On-site services are being provided by the County of Ventura and Tri Counties Regional Center. Incomes will be restricted to those earning at or below 30-50% of the area median income for Ventura County. Since the Housing Authority is committing Project Based Vouchers for all 39 apartments in the development, residents will only pay a 30% of their income for rent.

Dave's Thoughts On Castillo del Sol

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 Castillo del Sol 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. As a LIHTC property that chose the 40/60 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 40% of its units for families and individuals earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with lower incomes. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
