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.

The Creston Avenue Residence, located in the Fordham section of the Bronx, provides a safe, supportive environment for some of the city's most at-risk residents.
The building is a welcoming place, and offers 24-hour security, rooftop gardens, a backyard play area and community space for special events. Sixty-six apartments, ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, will house individuals and families. A suite of offices will give tenants a comfortable place in which to meet with social service professionals. By providing much needed support where people live, they promote housing stability and enable residents to identify and work toward their individual goals.

Requirements for residency in the Creston Avenue Residence are outlined below:
• Chronically homeless single adults who would benefit from the safe and supportive environment of the residence;
• Chronically homeless families, or those at serious risk of becoming homeless that would benefit from the safe and supportive environment;
• Veterans with HUD-VASH vouchers;
• Families that meet income eligibility requirements and do not require supportive services.
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 Creston Avenue 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.
