Waitlist Forecast

Since this property may have a Section 8 Property Based Rental Assistance contract with rental assistance available to its residents, it is likely the property has a waiting list. Sometimes these waiting lists can be months or years long and may or may not be accepting new applicants. 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.

Within walking distance to hospitals and Portland's Historic Old Port, one of the most successful revitalized warehouse districts in the country, you will find Danforth Heights Apartments.

 

People are drawn to Portland, Maine, and there is little question as to why. Ranked number four of America's 10 perfect places to live, Portland has it all, surrounded by rugged, rocky coast to the north, and white sandy beaches to the south. Portland offers all the amenities of the big city, including the arts district -- home to several galleries and museums including the Portland Museum of Art, waterfront views, museums, parks, elegant hotels and diverse shopping opportunities. Ferry docks provide cruises to Casco Bay's hundreds of islands, as well as whale watches and relaxing dinner cruises.

For the athlete or nature buff, there is certainly no shortage of outdoor activities. This part of Maine offers plenty of woods for strolling, rivers for canoeing and mountains for skiing. There's also this little thing called the Atlantic Ocean, which is perfect for fishing! The combination of beautiful rocky Maine coastline, hundreds of islands and countless sand and mud flats makes Casco Bay the ideal environment for striped bass, mackerel and blue fish. For the adventurer, going just a few miles offshore you can fish for cod and haddock, as well as several kinds of tuna.

Within walking distance to hospitals and Portland's historic Old Port, one of the most successful revitalized warehouse districts in the country, you will find Danforth Heights Apartments.

Dave's Thoughts On Danforth Heights

This property participates in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program meaning the rent for many, if not all, units is based on a tenant's income. You would not pay more than 30% of your income for rent. To qualify, you must earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), which you can find on this page’s income chart. Also, project-based Section 8 properties tend to have longer waiting lists, with some with waiting lists going out for years. This property was also financed through a HUD-insured private mortgage meaning the owner has oversight from both a private bank and HUD. This usually means Danforth Heights is kept in good condition. Since this property has a project-based Section 8 contract, you won't need a Section 8 voucher to live here. If you have a voucher, you may have to give it up to live here.
