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.

Highwood Square is the second artist housing development completed by NeighborWorks® New Horizons. The development consists of three buildings in the complex surround a community greenspace, giving it a small, campus-like atmosphere. Built in 2011, the modern design caters to artists and the spirit of the Highwood neighborhood. The project involved 46,000 square feet of new construction and an adaptive reuse of two existing 1920’s brick office buildings, the former Johnson Wholesale Perfume Company and the Nabisco Bakery. Highwood Square’s eastern edge is bordered by the Farmington Canal Greenway, a former canal line and railroad route which has been paved and converted to a walking and bike path stretching through 10 scenic miles of Hamden and beyond.

The complex was designed by New Haven architect Ben Ledbetter in association with Graftworks Architecture and Design of Manhattan, and constructed by LaRosa Building Group of Meriden. Funded by both public and private sources, it is a project of the American Recovery Act and the first in Connecticut to use the U.S. Treasury’s Exchange Program Funding.

Dave's Thoughts On Highwood Square

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 Highwood Square 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.
