Since this property is a LIHTC property that may have rental assistance for some or all units, there might be seperate or split waiting lists for rental assistance and non-rental assistance units. In this case, the rental assistance waiting list can be much longer than properties without rental assistance. The non-rental assistance units waiting list is likely much shorter or it may not have a waiting list at all. 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.
New Mass Pike Towers sits on the edge of Chinatown within walking distance of many fine restaurants, shops, medical centers, arts and entertainments. The jewels of Boston are all nearby: the Theater District, the South End, Park Square, the Boston Common, the Boston Public Garden, the Prudential Center, Copley Square, Downtown Crossing and Newbury Street. The site’s two towers stand tall in the busy area, while the four mid-rise buildings nestle into the scene.
In total, the six buildings comprise more than 200,000 square feet of space and 200 units of housing. There are 42 one-bedroom apartments, 142 two-bedroom apartments, and 16 three-bedroom apartments. The property includes a playground for the children and an outdoor parking center for 98 vehicles. In 2015, Trinity Financial created a memorial garden in memory of longtime Property Manager Fannie Kwan.
Trinity Financial bought the property in 2000 and placed deed restrictions on 190 units that guarantee they will remain affordable until 2070. Geared for people earning no more than 60 percent of area median income, there are also 40 units for the very low-income population. These include 22 one-bedroom apartments, 14 two-bedroom apartments, and 4 three-bedroom apartments.
Renovations included new kitchens, hot water and heating systems, ventilation, windows, roofs, landscaping and a redesign of the lobby. In addition, space was created for the residents’ association on the first floor, where 13 commercial spaces are also housed. There is a Day Care Center on site and many others in the vicinity.
The Josiah Quincy School – Upper & Lower Schools, Tufts Medical Center and the Wang YMCA are right around the corner.
The site was re-developed by Trinity and the South Cove Nursing Facilities Foundation, Inc., with input from the Chinese Progressive Association, the Chinatown Resident Association, and the Mass Pike Towers Resident Association.
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. The LIHTC program doesn't provide direct subsidies to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. This property does participate in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program and your rent would be subsidized and based on your 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. LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists however, since Mass Pike Towers has a project-based subsidy, the waiting list is likely much longer than other local LIHTC properties. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers however, since this property has a Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance contract, your Section 8 voucher can not be used here. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's and the LIHTC program funds the renovation of older properties. Because they tend to be newer or renovated, 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 need help paying your rent and are willing to wait for a longer waiting list.
