Solterra is a mixed-income, six-story building featuring 23 efficiency, ten (10) one-bedroom, thirteen (13) two-bedroom and nine (9) three-bedroom apartments as well as a community space (“The Harvest Room”) adjacent to the Boyd Street Urban Gardens. Onsite amenities include 23 automobile parking spaces, 28 secure bicycle spaces within the building, a laundry room, recycling and trash services, and, eventually, composting services. The project received a competitive grant from Efficiency Maine to install 145 solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building, which will provide enough electricity to power all common area heating and cooling systems, interior and exterior lighting, and hot water, as well as all onsite commercial office space.

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.
