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.
Village on Mercy is a prime example of how Ability Housing transforms areas of blight into community assets. In 2017, the City of Orlando demolished the existing boarded-up and abandoned buildings; leaving a clean slate.
Village on Mercy is comprised of 166 affordable housing units, a community center, a playground, a fitness trail and recreation space located along Lake Lawne. Village on Mercy currently serves 350 people, including 172 children and 18 elderly individuals. Fifty percent of the households were previously homeless immediately before coming to live at Village on Mercy and thirteen percent are living with a disability.
Low-income families and individuals have a safe, beautiful, affordable place to call home. All residents have access to on-site supportive services to improve their self-sufficiency and their quality of life.
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 Village on Mercy 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.
