Kimball Court is an affordable senior housing complex located on the south-east edge of Visalia. The project is made up of 94 units for seniors in duplexes and fourplexes with one on-site manager's unit. The 1-bedroom units are approximately 725 square feet, and contain bay front windows, carpeting, dishwashers an attractive front porch, and garbage disposals. The duplex units offer washer and dryer hook-ups, and there are 2 on-site laundry rooms and covered carports for all of the units. All of the units are handicap adaptable.
There is a community room on the 9.7-acre site for the use of the residents. Access to the enclosed complex is off a side street, through an automatic gate for the resident's safety. The attractive design of the complex includes stucco exteriors, red-tile roofs, patios, and meandering walkways through tree shaded landscaping.
The site is bordered to the East by a local church, and to the South and West by single-family residential subdivisions. City of Visalia rapid transit can be accessed in front of the complex.
This complex is very desirable to the seniors in the area. Residents have a secure, gated community, close to shopping and transportation, with a community center on site for activities and service providers. The units themselves are sunny and spacious, with all amenities, and are situated within an attractively landscaped project.
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 Kimball Court 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.

Applying for housing with bad credit.
Most HUD housing programs, like Section 8 and Public Housing, do not have a credit check. But Section 8 landlords will likely require one for an available unit.Judea I. Lawton says:
