This property is currently under construction.

Of 71 total units, 80% will serve households below 50% of AMI, and twenty percent of the building will serve households at or below 30% of AMI. The 20% portion includes seven units of supportive housing targeted at homeless veterans. The DC Department of Behavioral Health contracts with community-based organizations to provide support services to these veterans. The project will be adjacent to a 268-unit market-rate rental apartment complex to create a mix of housing options in the neighborhood. The project is also located within walking distance of four Metro stations, which will better connect residents to employment and other opportunities.

Dave's Thoughts On Liberty Place Apartments

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 Liberty Place Apartments 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.
