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.

The Johnston Center is a beautiful, newly rehabilitated building located on the south side of Milwaukee. The Johnston center is just west of interstate 94 in the community known as Lincoln Village. The Johnston Center serves the chronically homeless, disabled and low income populations. The building is also just minutes away from public transportation.

Johnston Center Residences provides 91 units of supportive housing for individuals who are homeless and disabled or at high risk of homelessness. The development has also created 10+ permanent jobs, injected $12.7 million into Milwaukee’s economy and helped to create and modify policies and procedures in the county and state government around the supportive affordable housing. Hope House, a nonprofit community organization will serve as the Milwaukee‐based service partner.

Johnston Center Residences combine the adaptive reuse of the old Johnston Medical Center and new construction on an adjacent space and blends effective strategies and approaches to address some of Milwaukee’s most pressing issues including homelessness, environmental conservation, poverty, and economic development. Forty‐one of the units will house individuals who are chronically homeless, very low‐income and disabled. The remaining 50 units will house very low‐income people who are at high risk for homelessness.

Project-Based Vouchers

Dave's Thoughts On The Johnston Center Residences

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 Johnston Center Residences 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 40/60 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 40% of its units for families and individuals earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many 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 lower incomes. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
