Since this property is a USDA Section 515 property with rental assistance for some or all units, there might be seperate or split waiting lists for rental assistance and non-rental assistance units. In this case, the rental assistance waiting list can be much longer than properties without rental assistance. The non-rental assistance units waiting list is likely much shorter or it may not have a waiting list at all. 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.
Luana Gardens is Hale Mahaolu's largest family housing community. This site has operated since 1983 and includes, one, two, three and foour-bedroom apartment style units. Luana Gardens is also home to MEO Head Start's preschool program. This property is conveniently located in Kahului, Maui and is close to a number of schools, and shops. Luana Gardens has a large lawn area ideal for picnics, a basketball court, and playground.
This property was financed by the USDA Section 515 program. This housing program was used to build affordable apartment communities in rural areas from the 1970’s through the 1990’s, with very few new properties built since then. Historically, the program had financial restrictions that limited the size, quality and amenities at properties. Unless Luana Gardens III has been renovated, it is likely to have smaller units and fewer amenities. Since the property is in a rural area, it may be one of only a few affordable rentals in the area. This property also participates in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program that helps residents pay rent. If your income is at or below 50% of the AMI, you would only pay 30% of your income toward rent. Since the property has a tenant-based subsidy, it is likely to have a longer waiting list than other properties. If you need help paying your rent and you live in a rural area, this property might be for you. Since this property participates in the Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.

Applying for housing with bad credit.
Most HUD housing programs, like Section 8 and Public Housing, do not have a credit check. But Section 8 landlords will likely require one for an available unit.Belinda Hewitt says:
