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.
Live at the Lehigh Valley's newest 62 and older senior affordable apartments! West Turner Residences, formerly known as Sacred Heart Residences, offers 61 brand new, high-quality apartment homes. This four-story building includes 54 one-bedroom apartments averaging 687 square feet and 7 two-bedroom apartments averaging 843 square feet.
Amenity spaces include a community room with kitchenette, fitness center, game room, library, lobby lounge, common laundry rooms, and a roof terrace.
West Turner Residences were developed in partnership with Sacred Heart Hospital to create holistic access for seniors to 5,000 sf of geriatric, physical therapy, and other senior focused medical functions. These healthcare services are located on the first floor of West Turner Residences, and will be available to residents and the general public.
Because West Turner Residences participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
