Waitlist Forecast

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.

Lehigh Park I Apartments is located at 2600-2620 North Lawrence Street and Lehigh Park II is located at 2622-2644 North Lawrence Street. These two mid-rise buildings served as home to St. Christopher’s Children’s Hospital until its relocation in 1989 to a more modern facility at Front Street and Erie Avenue. After the hospital’s relocation, these buildings were purchased and converted into multifamily dwellings for low-income families by the Canus Corporation with support from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC). HACE purchased these buildings on December 31, 2001 in keeping with the organization’s mission of preserving affordable rental housing for residents of HACE’s service area and to support the continued revitalization of the Fairhill Neighborhood.

Dave's Thoughts On Lehigh Park Apartments Phase II

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 Lehigh Park Apartments Phase II 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.
