Tahoma View Apartments is conveniently located close to shopping, entertainment and the 512 connection to Fort Lewis, Puyallup, Kent, and Seattle. The property also offers a community center with a large gathering space, classrooms, a computer lab, and outdoor play areas. Tahoma View operates one of Mercy Housing’s most successful resident services programs. About 76% of the property’s 196 residents have taken part in a resident services program. Some of the most popular programs include on-site volunteering, financial education, after-school and summer programs for kids, and a summer lunch program. Tahoma View provides 50 units of affordable housing to families earning 30% and 50% of area median income. Tahoma View offers 8 one-bedroom units, 24 two-bedroom units, and 18 three-bedroom units.
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 Tahoma View 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. As a LIHTC property that chose the 20/50 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 20% of its units for families and individuals earning 50% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many of these properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with very low incomes.
