Victory Gardens is a 74-unit mixed-income supportive and affordable rental housing development on the campus of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Newington, Connecticut. Envisioned for and designed specifically with Veterans in mind, preference is given to eligible Veterans and their families, including homeless Veterans and those at-risk of becoming homeless. A comprehensive supportive services plan has been incorporated to support our Veterans’ needs beyond affordable housing, and includes a variety of programs and services provided by the Chrysalis Center and VA-CT.

Victory Gardens consists of 40 one-bedroom units, 22 two-bedroom units, and 12 three-bedroom units spread throughout seven town home buildings and one multi unit apartment building. All apartments are geared to households earning at or below 60% of area median income (AMI), and provides for much deeper affordability than other multi-family developments in the area, including homes that are targeted for families below 50% AMI and 25% AMI.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
