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.

Although an Artspace project is often the first step in a community’s plan to create an arts district, Memphis presents a different challenge: to help achieve a new level of vibrancy for an existing arts district, located near the birth place of Blues, R&B, and Rock & Roll. In partnership with the City of Memphis and the Hyde Family Foundations, Artspace transformed a historic, three-story warehouse and adjacent parking lot into a mixed-use arts facility with 63 affordable live/work units for artists and their families, as well as a community gallery space and outdoor arts garden. The South Main Artspace Lofts is part of roughly $200 million in investments to the South Main district including renovations to the National Civil Rights Museum, the Orpheum Theatre, and the Main Street to Main Street Multi-Modal Connector Project.

Dave's Thoughts On South Main Artspace Loft

Because South Main Artspace Loft 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.
