Southpoint Crossing, originally Florida City Apartments, consists of eight, two-story apartment
buildings with 123 units. The property was developed in 1995 with Low-Income Housing Tax
Credits by a local community-based nonprofit organization but was taken over by the Housing
Credit syndicator when the local nonprofit declared bankruptcy in 2008. Southpoint’s surrounding
neighborhood suffered from extremely poor physical conditions and poverty. Tenant turnover was
high and numerous incidences of crime occurred on the adjacent property, including drug dealing
and near daily gun fire. When NHT Communities purchased Southpoint Crossing in 2010, the property
owner was facing foreclosure and the building was in need of substantial renovations and security
upgrades.
NHT Communities purchased and renovated the property utilizing resources from HUD’s
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). NSP was developed in response to the Great Recession
to prevent the loss of affordable housing through foreclosures.
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 Southpoint Crossing 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. 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.
