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.
The St. Rita was built in 1916 for Robert S. Braun and designed by architect Harry C. Stevens.
It originally contained 24 suites (though today is home to 26 one-bedroom apartments). Its red tapestry brick and white terra cotta finishes give it a classic look. The entrance lobby and stairway were finished in English-Italian marble and ornamental plaster. The corridor floors had in-laid ceramic Mosaic tiles. The suites facing Owen Avenue originally featured five rooms and a bath. Those in the back had four rooms. The rooms were finished in mahogany and white enamel, and the baths featured white tile.
The six-story building managed to hang on until the 1990s, when it was damaged by fire. It sat empty and was teed up to be demolished by the City in 2008. However, possibly because of Detroit's precarious financial condition ahead of bankruptcy, the St. Rita managed to dodge the wrecking ball.
Because Saint Rita Apartments participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME 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 and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
