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.
Papa'aloa Elderly Housing is comprised of 10 duplexes, each having vinyl flooring throughout. Kitchens are an open floor plan open to the living space and include wood cabinetry with Formica countertops, electric Energy Star refrigerators and ranges, and are furnished with a range hood and garbage disposal. Bathrooms are equipped with a roll in shower. Bedrooms open into the living space with pocket doors as well as a hinged door that leads into a small hallway. Ceiling fans and window blinds complete the space. A small lanai abuts the entrance for outdoor seating.
A small community space is equipped with a refrigerator, kitchen sink and cabinetry for tenant use. The community building also houses a resident manager’s office, public bathroom, and a laundry room for tenant use.
This property is limited to households who’s head, co-head, or spouse are 62 years or over only.
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 Papa'aloa Elderly Housing 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.
