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.
Columbia Senior Residences at East Decatur is a new construction, mixed-income senior community located in the new mixed-use transit oriented development adjacent to the Avondale MARTA station.
The 5-story elevator-served building with enclosed corridors is dedicated for seniors 62 and older and includes a dining/dance room, business center, movie theater, state-of-the-art fitness center, and onsite laundry facilities. The building is a certified green building by EarthCraft and the units feature brand new ENERGY STAR® appliances.
Additionally, this community offers a courtyard that will provide seniors a private outdoor experience with lush landscaping and gazebo, and the site’s main pedestrian walk is immediately adjacent to our building, providing safe and easy access to the Avondale MARTA bus and transit
Because Columbia Senior Residences at Decatur East participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
