Historic Renovation with Modern Amenities!
Whittaker Place offers renovated studio/1 bath, 1 bed/ 1 bath and 2 bed/ 2 bath apartments in the Brookville Heights neighborhood in the east end of Newport News. Formerly the historic Whittaker Memorial Hospital built in 1943. The property has undergone extensive renovations to restore and preserve the historic charm of the building while offering the modern conveniences like a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, ice maker, microwave, stove and dishwasher. Modern concrete floors and the convenience of in unit washer and dryer. Community lounge and an outdoor dog park, courtyard and grill and sitting area for social gatherings. Water, sewer, sanitation and trash removal included. Central AC. Access controlled building. Income restrictions apply.
Because Whittaker Place 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.
