Recently renovated the residential buildings were replaced with efficiency units – a total of 69 units in three buildings. Each unit has energy-efficient PTAC air conditioner/heating systems, a ceiling fan, and energy efficient windows, allowing natural light to fill the unit.
Two new pavilions were built – one covered and one uncovered between the administration and recreation building. There are a number of picnic tables and park-like benches on the property, allowing the residents to gather and enjoy social time together. Wireless internet is available in and around the residential buildings and at the pavilions. The recreation building has a ping pong table, several tables and chairs, as well as a TV. There is a kitchen and office and bathrooms in the building.
All of these wonderful amenities will provide 9%residents with a comfortable daily existence, fostering a sense of community for all.

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.
This project has received some funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME). In projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of these units must be occupied by families earning 50% or less of area median income (AMI). All other HOME-assisted units must be occupied by families earning 80% or less of AMI, but in practice most are reserved for families earning 60% or less AMI. Maximum monthly rent is capped with a Low HOME Rent for <50% AMI units and a High HOME Rent for the remaining HOME-assisted units. Contact the property directly for the specific dollar amount of these rent caps.
