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.
North Santa Fe Apartments is a transit-friendly, family rental development on 1.4 acres in downtown Vista, California, immediately across from the Sprinter train and bus station. Ten of the 68 affordable apartments are reserved for Transition-Aged Youth, vulnerable youth aging out of foster care, with North County Lifeline as the special service provider. The rental community includes a state-of-the-art community building providing ample space for CHW residential services, computer learning centers and a community space. The grounds include a playground, picnic tables and BBQ, seating areas, bike racks, and an upper-floor resident patio lounge. This community embraces sustainable technologies, with a cost savings for residents. Buildings include flat roofs to provide a platform for solar hot water panels and mechanical equipment. Residents will only pay for the heating, cooking, air conditioning and general electric costs with the County of San Diego Energy Efficient utility allowance schedule.
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 North Santa Fe 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.
