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.
Oakwood Shores is 277 one, two, three, and four bedroom units located in Grand Boulevard and Oakland.
Oakwood Shores is approximately 94 acres located in Chicago's Grand Boulevard and Oakland communities, four miles south of the Loop and one third mile west of Lake Michigan. It is generally bound by 35th Street to the north, Lake Park Avenue to the east, Pershing Road to the south and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to the west.
The site originally included more than 3,500 public housing units comprising the developments formerly known as Ida B. Wells, Madden Park, and Clarence Darrow Homes.
Construction of Oakwood Shores began in 2003 and will be completed over several phases. Three phases have been completed totaling 524 units of which 277 are CHA, 165 are affordable, and 145 are market rate. Upon completion Oakwood Shores will consist of 3,000 units of new rental and for-sale housing.
Because Oakwood Shores 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.

"After years of applying for Section 8 and never being called, this website is the reason I finally received my voucher, and just moved into my new apartment! If I had not started receiving alerts from Affordable Housing Online of waiting list openings in my area, I would not be where I am today!"
