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.

Savanna Hall, located on 444-446 West 163rd Street, is a block and plank seven-story residential building with community space for social services and recreation. Savanna Hall has 73 units of permanent rental housing comprised of 72 studios and 1 1-bedroom apartment for the superintendent. Twenty-five studios are reserved for young adults aging out of residential treatment program and foster care and involved with the NY State Office of Mental Health. Twenty-five studios house homeless single adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, to the extent possible, residents of Community Board 12. The remaining 22 studios provide affordable housing to low-income single adults earning 60% of the Area Median Income. The site is located adjacent to the Lantern Group’s Audubon Hall, and is within walking distance of a retail area, restaurants, schools, Presbyterian Hospital, and several forms of public transportation. Building amenities include a rooftop garden, backyard community gardening area, community space, social service offices and a welcoming entryway.
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 Savanna Hall 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.
