Northern Kentucky Scholar House is a comprehensive self-sufficiency program that provides affordable housing, child development services, and case management support for single parents as they pursue a degree in higher education. This property consists of 42-two bedroom units and 6-three bedroom apartments and a high-quality child development center on the same campus.
Single parents enrolled in Northern Kentucky Scholar House and attending school are offered support in:
1. Housing, where Section 8 subsidy will keep housing costs low for 48 apartments.
2. Educational and economic support program, where parents connected with other existing economic supports, such as childcare assistance, food stamps, work study programs, financial aid, and provided life skills consisting of on-site workshops and activities that support parents in their roles as students, parents, heads of household, and future employees.
3. On-site Child Care, where children from 6 weeks to school age receive care in an enriching environment (licensed and STAR rated Center) while the parent is in school.
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 Northern Kentucky Scholar House 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. As a LIHTC property that chose the 20/50 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 20% of its units for families and individuals earning 50% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many of these properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with very low incomes.

Housing options for renters with a criminal record.
A criminal history does not automatically disqualify a renter from federal housing assistance. But more serious offenses may make you inelligible if they were recent.Kara Jensen says:
