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.
Water’s Edge, a beautiful new affordable housing community is being developed by Hope Bound Development Corporation, the instrumentality of the Housing Authority of Joliet, previously known as “Will County Housing Development Corporation.” Proudly, Water’s Edge is our third redevelopment project in the City of Joliet.
A $21MM project, Water’s Edge will consist of 68 single family and townhouse style homes, located on the site with Wallace Street to DesPlaines Street, McDonough Street to Water Street, and Water Street to Wallace Street. The first five homes are expected to be ready for May 1, 2017, lease-up.
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 Water's Edge 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.
