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.

Access West Cook is scattered site housing located in the western suburbs of Cook County, including Bellwood, Berwyn, Forest Park, and Maywood. It is a mix of one and two bedroom units, some new construction and some substantial rehabilitation. The housing is privately owned and operated. The HACC provides rental assistance through its Project-based Voucher Program. Residents pay 30% of their income towards rent and the HACC subsidizes the remainder of the rent to the owner. To be eligible for Access West Cook, the head of the household, co-head, or spouse must have a verifiable disability. Additionally the household income cannot exceed 50% Area Median Income (AMI) based on the number of people residing in the unit. Some units are restricted to households earning up to 30% Area Median Income (AMI). The HACC will determine eligibility for the PBV Program and the owner will determine suitability for tenancy.
23 foreclosed properties in Bellwood, Berwyn, Forest Park, and Maywood. 50 units of supportive rental housing for households with disabilities through the Home First Initiative.
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 Access West Cook 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.
