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.

The Beech Street Factory combines affordable apartments with a community arts center to rejuvenate a forgotten Pottstown landmark. The vacant Fecera's Furniture warehouse at 341 Beech Street was rehabbed for 43 apartments, lots of resident amenity space, and the 4,000-square-foot new home of ArtFusion, Pottstown's community art school and gallery. 

The apartments at the Beech Street Factory were marketed to artists and other qualified tenants. Housing Visions' on-site, full-time Property Manager will perform the following checks on each applicant: 1) Income qualification; 2) Credit check; 3) Criminal background check; 4) In-person interview; 5) Prior landlord interview. In our 20 years of development and property management experience, this process has proven a reliable method for selecting high-quality tenants who will contribute to the building's sense of community and promote neighborhood pride.

Six units are designated for individuals with developmental disabilities or mental health concerns. Six more units are designed for residents with mobility impairments, and two units are designed for individuals with hearing and/or vision loss. The development was made possible, in part, by Low-Income Housing Tax Credits administered by PHFA.

Dave's Thoughts On The Beech Street Factory

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 The Beech Street Factory 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. As a LIHTC property that chose the 40/60 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 40% of its units for families and individuals earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with lower incomes. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
