Waitlist Forecast

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.

Frost Terrace consists of forty (40) 100% affordable apartment homes, located in bustling Porter Square, Cambridge. The convenient location is close to many amenities such as local schools, places of worship, stores, eateries and public transportation. Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the apartments at Frost Terrace were meticulously designed between four buildings, three of which were existing and have been restored to their historic integrity. A new building located at the middle of the site encompasses a more modern design and a community room as an amenity to building residents.

Dave's Thoughts On Frost Terrace

Because Frost Terrace 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.
