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.

At Medical Lake SHP Spokane Housing Ventures is partnering with Spokane County Community Development Department and the Supportive Living Program to provide 6 units of affordable housing to at risk individuals and families connected to the County's Supportive Living Program. This project provides a stable housing environment as these individuals and families work their way back into permanent housing. Spokane County and SHV received a HUD Supportive Housing Program grant in 2002 to provide acquisition, rehabilitation, leasing and operating funds. ESD 101 Americorp/Youth Build program participants completed major renovation on the units in August 2004. A small laundry facility was built on the site in 2005 by ESD101 after it was learned that the only coin op laundry in Medical Lake had closed. Spokane County expects to replicate this project with other non-profit housing providers if we are successful over the course of the remaining two years.

Dave's Thoughts On Medical Lake

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 Medical Lake 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.
