A supportive and stimulating senior community where you can live comfortably, maintain your independence, and enjoy life to the fullest. Riverview’s two buildings sit on more than three acres of manicured grounds, with 191 soon-to-be renovated one- and two-bedroom apartments for all income levels.
The renovation reduces the number of units from 221 to 191 of which 151 will be affordable for residents whose income is 60% or less than the area median income. The remaining 40 will be lower-cost, market-rate units. A total of 42 units will be fully accessible.
-Professional staff and upgraded facilities ensure easy living in a warm and friendly environment.
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. The LIHTC program doesn't provide direct subsidies to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. This property does participate in the Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance program and your rent would be subsidized and based on your income. You would not pay more than 30% of your income for rent. To qualify, you must earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), which you can find on this page’s income chart. LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists however, since The New Riverview has a project-based subsidy, the waiting list is likely much longer than other local LIHTC properties. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers however, since this property has a Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance contract, your Section 8 voucher can not be used here. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's and the LIHTC program funds the renovation of older properties. Because they tend to be newer or renovated, 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 need help paying your rent and are willing to wait for a longer waiting list.

Know your rights as a Section 8 tenant.
In many areas, private landlords with an available unit can refuse interested tenants who have a Section 8 voucher. Check your local laws.LMarie Murphy says:
