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.

Flats on Forward is a mixed‐use affordable housing development located in the gateway of the bustling Squirrel Hill Business District. They offer 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom floor plans with each unit featuring a refrigerator, range, and A/C. The community features an outdoor public space on the ground floor and a community room located on the top floor featuring sweeping views of the surrounding area. Close to numerous shops, restaurants, parks, and grocery stores, Flats on Forward is well-situated to provide easy access to nearby amenities while connecting its residents to the rest of the city as it’s located along several major public transportation routes. Eleven (11) units are set aside for individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities.
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 Flats on Forward 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.

Wait until you have a Section 8 voucher to find housing.
It usually takes months or years to reach the top of a Section 8 HCV waiting list. Any apartments you see now will likely not be available when you get your voucher.Mary Estrada says:
