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.

Minnehaha Commons is 3 story, brick and sided apartment building located on East Lake Street in Minneapolis. The project was designed for adults over the age of 55 who have experienced homelessness. Minnehaha Commons is located in the Longfellow neighborhood. There are 44 studio apartments. The building is fully handicap accessible.
Capital funding requires that tenants must earn less than 50% of area median income ($35,000 for a single adult) at move-in. Studios rent for $500 – $692 per month. All utilities are paid by the owner. Most will earn significantly less and the property can offer rent assistance from a variety of sources. There is also a wholistic set of services available through Touchstone Mental Health.
Minnehaha Commons is a secure building with controlled entry. The building has card operated laundry facilities on the first floor. Each unit has its own heat and air conditioning. A lovely community room with kitchen facilities is available on the first floor for tenant gatherings or community meetings.
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 Minnehaha Commons 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 20/50 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 20% of its units for families and individuals earning 50% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many of these 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 very low incomes.
