Forest Hills Veterans Housing, located on Ardmore Boulevard in Forest Hills, is one of ACTION-Housing’s most recent development.

The adaptive reuse of a vacant and abandoned building and the construction of a two-story addition to create 41 units of affordable housing. Twenty-one of the units will have a preference for veterans and twenty will have a preference for seniors. Six units will be fully accessible, including two units for hearing and vision impaired individuals.

Amenities in the building include a community room with a large outdoor patio for use by all residents, laundry facilities on each floor, and dedicated offices for both management and supportive services. The development will provide critical housing and supportive services while taking advantage of its location in an area of opportunity that offers a wide range of amenities and services to all residents.

Dave's Thoughts On Forest Hill Veterans Housing

Because Forest Hill Veterans Housing 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.
