Since this property is a LIHTC 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.
55 one, two, and three bedroom apartments
A mixed use, mixed income development at the gateway into the heart of Northampton, The Lumber Yard provides families and individuals with the opportunity to live in one of the area’s most desirable communities.
A co-development between Valley Community Development and Way Finders. Offering access to the cultural, commercial, educational, and transportation opportunities of a small, vibrant city, The Lumber Yard apartments highlight the values and ideals of the surrounding community. The former Northampton Lumber Company property was transformed into 55 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with approximately 5,400 square feet of commercial space on Pleasant Street.
43 apartments are available for households at or below 60% of Area Median Income and 12 for households at or below 30% Area Median Income (with project-based rental assistance subsidies). Preference for homeless families and individuals and those at risk of homelessness applies for six of the apartments. 7 apartments are equipped for the hearing-impaired with 5 of them being fully wheelchair-accessible.
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 The Lumbar Yard 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. As a LIHTC property that chose the 40/60 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 40% of its units for families and individuals earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with lower incomes. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.

Housing options for renters with a criminal record.
A criminal history does not automatically disqualify a renter from federal housing assistance. But more serious offenses may make you inelligible if they were recent.Shirley Toran says:
"Affordable Housing Online is very good at keeping me informed on new and future dates for waiting list applications."
