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.
Green Oaks Apartments is a 177-unit, new construction, affordable rental housing community currently being constructed in the City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. This community will contain a mix of one- two- and three-bedroom units for households with an income level at 50% – 60% of the area median income (AMI.) In addition, there will be two units set aside for an on-site property manager and on-grade parking spaces. The development site is located within a mile of convenient services including a full-sized grocery store and pharmacy, schools, banks, restaurants, and other retail stores appropriate for residents and within a ¼ mile of a public transportation stop.
Green Oaks Apartments will serve families and their needs by providing high quality affordable housing with modern amenities and on-site services. The one-, two-, and three bedroom apartment units, exceeding the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) minimum sizes, will offer contemporary living for residents. Unit amenities will include balconies/patios overlooking the common outdoor space, ample storage space and modern kitchens and bathrooms. To provide the most convenient living environment for families, all kitchens have garbage disposals, dishwashers and other amenities. Each unit will also include connections for a washer and dryer. The appliances will be energy efficient models to further reduce costs for residents. Site amenities will include a pool and grill facilities, children’s playground, fully enclosed dog park, perimeter fence with controlled access and a series of walkways throughout the community with seating areas.
Green Oaks Apartments will consist of three 3-story buildings, including a community clubhouse overlooking a beautifully landscaped courtyard with a pool. The clubhouse will include a kitchenette, lounge, community services area, business center, fitness room, offices and activity rooms. Tenant services will be made available at no cost to families and will be delivered onsite. These may include activities such as on-site social events, exercise classes, health fairs, and computer education programs.
Because Green Oaks 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.
