Thornton Heights Commons, a 42-unit building, located at 611 Main Street in South Portland, Maine. The building consists of affordable housing unit, project-based voucher units, and market rate units.
Preference on the waiting list will be given to Elderly or Disabled applicants, Families with Children or Dependents, applicants that Live or Work in South Portland, Veterans, and Victims of a Federally Declared Natural Disaster. Applicants may apply for affordable housing units, project-based voucher units and/or market-rate units.
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 Thornton Heights Commons 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.
