Hawthorn Grove Apartments

550 East Rich St, Columbus, Ohio 43215

Hawthorn Grove apartment community is located at 550 E. Rich Street. The beautiful structure, which echoes the residences that once graced the neighborhood, replaced a vacant parking lot. The building provides 39 one-bedroom units of housing for people disabled by mental illness and one resident manager's unit. All 40 units are rent-subsidized to limit the rent burden on our residents to 30 percent of their income. Community Housing Network and its partner organizations invested approximately $6 million into this quality structure. CHN manages the property and coordinates community services. The Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board of Franklin County (ADAMH) offers onsite supportive services, including recovery, wellness and employment-related programs.

HOME Investment Partnerships Program

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.

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.
