The Arden is located a block from the Huntington Metro station. Construction is expected to begin in December 2019. The final development plan will include 126 affordable rental units (10 studio units, 25 1-BR units, 81 2-BR units, 10 3-BR Units). Families who earn 60 percent or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) will be eligible to live in The Arden. The building will have a total of 179 parking spaces, including 15 for the offices.

Dave's Thoughts On The Arden

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 Arden 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.
