Historic Lafayette Apartments are conveniently located at 302 South Main Street in Butler, PA. It consists of 59 apartments (53 one-bedrooms, 1 two-bedroom, and 5 efficiencies) of affordable housing for limited income individuals, age 55 or older. Additional units are available for non-income based applicants. Rent is based on income, electric not included; in turn the Housing Authority subtracts a utility allowance from monthly rent calculations. Resident is also responsible for electric, telephone, and cable TV.
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 Historic Lafayette Apartments 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.
