Since this property is a HOME program 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.
Mary Lee Community purchased this 22-unit apartment complex with HOME funds and a loan from the Federal Home Loan Bank. A loan was approved by the Austin Housing Finance Corporation to rehabilitate the twenty-two units and to connect the two buildings with eight new efficiency units. Special emphasis is given to offer housing to persons with special needs, single mothers with young children and the disabled. Occupancy is not exclusive to these groups and is part of the larger Mary Lee Community which surrounds it.
Because Cornerstone participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households at or below 60% of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a 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 program. Since this property participates in the HOME program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
