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.

Beach Channel Senior Residences is a new construction 7 story building for seniors ages 62 years and up in Far Rockaway, Queens, NY. The project totals 144,973 gross SF and includes 154 one bedroom affordable units and approximately 9,000 SF of community facility and commercial space. Project amenities include a laundry room, bike storage room, community room, recreation/game room, tenant services office, private outdoor space, and a high-end security system. All units are affordable to households earning up to 60% of AMI and benefit from a 15-year project based Section 8 HAP contract from the New York City Housing Authority. 30% of the units in the project are reserved and have been rented to formerly homeless seniors referred by NYCHA and the Department of Homeless Services. The site is located across the street from Bayswater Park with amenities such as waterfront paths, baseball fields, tennis courts and basketball courts. Primary commercial and retail shops such as grocery stores, markets, municipal services, and healthcare facilities are all within walking distance and the Beach 36 St subway station is located one block west of the site.
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 Beach Channel Senior Residences 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. Since the property also utilizes a FHA insured private mortgage, the property is subject to Federal physical condition requirements and REAC inspections. 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.
