Waitlist Forecast

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.

Birch Hill Apartments is a 55 and older community that offers 1 and 2 bedroom units in Lewiston, ME. Birch Hill was built in accordance with the Maine Housing Green Building Standards. Design of the building focused on energy savings, water efficiency and indoor environmental quality. During construction, a total of 89% of all project waste was recycled. Birch Hill’s central location means many community resources including Kennedy Park,  the Lisbon Street shopping district, churches, hospitals and other cultural attractions are accessible to the tenants within easy walking distance.

Dave's Thoughts On Birch Hill

Because Birch Hill 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.
