Since this property is a HOME program 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.
In early 2015 EHC partnered with Healthcare for the Homeless of Baltimore and Towner Management to explore the feasibility of creating 12 units of permanent supportive housing in the Upton Neighborhood of West Baltimore. EHC subsequently purchased six adjacent parcels in the 1200 block of Argyle Avenue from the City of Baltimore through the Vacants to Values Program. By the end of the year EHC had secured support for the project from The Upton Planning Committee, a neighborhood citizens group and the Sojourner Place was born. Most of 2016 was consumed securing the $2.5MM in funding needed. Construction began in February 2017 and was completed in September.
The target population for the project is homeless individuals or couples capable of sharing a one-bedroom apartment. The management agent, Towner, selects tenants based on criteria developed by EHC, HCH and Towner. Selection of tenants reflects a commitment to the “housing first” approach, in which housing is offered to people experiencing homelessness without preconditions and in which rapid placement and stabilization in permanent housing are primary goals. Projects that use a housing first approach promote the acceptance of applicants regardless of their sobriety or use of substances, completion of treatment, or participation in services. Potential tenants undergo a multi-stage screening process: the prospective tenants are referred to HCH through Baltimore’s Coordinated Assessment. HCH then evaluates the potential tenant and refers them to Towner and the Housing Authority of Baltimore City for application and Housing Choice Voucher screening.
Once selected, tenants have access to case management though Healthcare for the Homeless. A variety of wrap-around services are available to tenants including rehabilitation, vocational and employment assistance, health and dental services, income and benefits support, substance abuse treatment and linkages to additional services as needed and available.
Because Sojourner Place At Argyle Avenue participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households at or below 60% of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a 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 program. Since this property participates in the HOME program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.

Section 8 vouchers can be moved to another area.
Once certain conditions are met, a Section 8 voucher may be transferred to another area (known as "porting").Lisa Selby says:
"After years of applying for Section 8 and never being called, this website is the reason I finally received my voucher, and just moved into my new apartment! If I had not started receiving alerts from Affordable Housing Online of waiting list openings in my area, I would not be where I am today!"
