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.
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.
Edwin’s Place provides 126 apartments for homeless and low-income individuals, veterans, and families in Brooklyn's Brownsville neighborhood. The eight-story building is composed of 69 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units as well as 56 studios. 88 units are home to formerly homeless individuals and families, and 37 units are for low-income residents.
At the corner Livonia Avenue and Grafton Street, the building is set back to accommodate the curve of the adjacent elevated New York City Subway tracks. A metal and glass curtainwall bay above the entry provides a focal point to the south facade and light to the elevator lobbies. A community facility space is incorporated into the ground floor and is home to the nonprofit organization Power of Two. The L-shaped building cradles a sunken courtyard with various outdoor amenities, as well as providing light to lower-level offices for social service staff, a fitness center, a computer lab, and meeting rooms. The upper floors offer a variety of apartments ranging from 300-square-foot studios to 1,100-square-foot three-bedroom units. Pergolas provide shade for a rooftop terrace.
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 Edwin's Place 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.
