Since this property may have a RAD Section 8 Property Based Rental Assistance contract with rental assistance available to its residents, it is likely the property has a waiting list. Sometimes these waiting lists can be months or years long and may or may not be accepting new applicants. 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.
320 one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments with 314 of the units originally constructed in 1952. Structures are two-story townhouses that feature free parking, yards and playground areas for children. The entire development was fully renovated including major improvements to the apartment interiors, building exteriors and site work. The final phase of this renovation was completed in 2002.
A full range of supportive services are available for residents of all ages at the Roosevelt Community Center including Head Start, Resource Inc, Kids Connection, and job seeking assistance from ROSS Grant, Resident Council, and council-planned activities and events.
Since Roosevelt Homes participates in the RAD Section 8 Project-Based Section 8 Program, your rent would be subsidized. 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. Also, project-based RAD Section 8 properties tend to have longer waiting lists, with some with waiting lists going out for years. Since this property participates in the RAD Section 8 Project Based Rental Assistance program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
