Waitlist Forecast

Since this property may have HUD-funded Public Housing with subsidies that help pay tenants' rent, the property is likely to have a long waiting list. Housing authorities often open these waiting lists periodically. Important: Housing authorities don't always open housing waiting lists at a property-specific level or even allow applicants to choose at which property they can live. Many times, the housing authority will assign an applicant to a property without giving the applicant a choice.

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.

Steamboat Square High Rise
There are four buildings with 306 units at this site which was extensively renovated and dedensified in the mid 1980’s. The ground floors of the buildings house various resident support services including day care, WIC, and resident employment development. The buildings also received new boilers, toilets and lighting under an energy performance contract within the last 3 years. Half of the refrigerators are also being replaced with the EPC this year. There are 16 family townhouses with individual entrances at the base of two of the buildings; children are not housed in the units accessed by elevator.

Steamboat Square Townhouses
There are six buildings with 44 units adjacent to the highrises. Major updates to the siding, roofs, exterior doors and kitchens were done around 2000 and sprinklers were installed in 2001.

Steamboat Square Historic Rehabs
There are 10 buildings with 31 units. These were acquired and rehabbed in the mid 1980’s. Exterior steel fire stairs were added in the early 1990’s, at which time lead abatement and pointing of the exterior was also done. AD.A upgrades occurred in the late 1990’s and sprinklers were installed in 2001.

Dave's Thoughts On Steamboat Square

This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Steamboat Square participates in the Public Housing 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.
