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.
The Housing Authority of Cass County is sponsoring the development of 20 new two- and three-bedroom single-family homes in Virginia.
Each home will include a front porch and rear patio, an attached garage and a full
range of in-unit amenities including refrigerators, electric ovens, dishwashers, and individual washers
and dryers. Sixteen of the units will be reserved for households earning less than 60 percent of the Area
Median Income (less than $34,560 for a family of three in Cass County), with the remaining four units
set aside for households earning less than 30 percent of the Area Median Income (less than $17,280 for
a family of three). Six units will be subsidized by rental assistance from Cass County, ensuring residents
pay no more than 30 percent of their income towards rent.
Leasing will begin this summer. For more information, contact the Housing Authority of Cass County at

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 Cass County Homes 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.
