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.
Sacred Heart at St. Bernard is a mixed-use community of multi-family rental and retail space at the former Sacred Heart Church on St. Bernard Avenue in the Seventh Ward of New Orleans. The project includes six rental units within the former Sacred Heart Church and a new four-story building of 47 residential rental units, leasing office, and amenities. Additionally, the community offers a public community room and retail space on the ground floor that will be home to 826 New Orleans, a nonprofit youth creative writing group. Sacred Heart at St. Bernard was developed by Providence Community Housing and Columbia Residential and is professionally managed by Columbia Residential Property Management.
Because Sacred Heart at St. Bernard 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.
