How to Apply
Am I eligible?

This community is a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. Unlike the HUD Project-Based Rental Assistance Program,  LIHTC maximum rental rates are set annually based on the rise or fall of the area median income (AMI) in the county where the apartment building is located. During the tax credit allocation process, income “set-asides” (income brackets) are established for the property, which determine the maximum income a household can have to qualify for a unit. While a tenant's income is used to determine their eligibility for the tax credit unit, the rent itself is based on the AMI and the apartment size.

Gross rent is the maximum allowable rent, while net rent is the amount payable by the tenant after the utility allowance is deducted. The LIHTC program does allow for rents to be increased, as needed, if there is an increase in the AMI to offset increased management and operating costs. The rent could be increased to the maximum tax credit rent limits even if the resident's income remains the same or decreases.

The Head of Household or Spouse must be the minimum age limit displayed on this webpage or older at the time of application.

Please refer to the Band of Affordability for the applicable rent limits based on set-asides and apartment size.

More information about the application process

Demand for affordable senior housing far exceeds availability in most areas. We maintain a Waiting List to provide a fair and equitable way to track interest and make apartments available as they become vacant. To apply to live at this community, an applicant household must complete an application and certify that all information provided is complete and accurate. Application shall be distributed only when the Waitlist List is open and can be acquired, completed and submitted via by mail, email, and in person.

Applications may also be completed online for communities that offer online application functionality. For online applicants, once an applicant household reaches the top of the waiting list, an additional supplemental application is required to complete the full eligibility determination. This supplemental application may be required earlier if the community is conducting a lottery.

Once the application is received, it will be determined whether the applicant preliminarily qualifies to be placed on the waiting list. The application is reviewed to identify any obvious factors that would make the applicant household ineligible. If the applicant appears to meet the initial eligibility criteria, based on the information included in the application, the applicant will be added to the waiting list for the requested unit size(s). Placement on the waiting list does not automatically qualify the applicant household for a unit.

If the applicant does not qualify, they will be notified in writing. This written statement will include the reason(s) for the denial, and state that the applicant has the right to request an appeal for this denial decision and present any extenuating circumstances the applicant would like to have considered. The community must be notified by the applicant's preferred method of communication if any application information changes, including but not limited to contact and income information.

The community updates its waiting list once per year. If the applicant does not respond to the community's outreach regarding staying on the waiting list, the applicant will be removed from the list. For more details on the application process, please refer to the Resident Selection Plan which can be requested from the community.

Policies

It is the policy and commitment of HumanGood that it does not discriminate in housing and housing-related transactions on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, age, familial status, marital status, source of income, handicap or disability, or arbitrary characteristics. HumanGood affirms its policy of equal housing opportunity pursuant to state and federal fair housing laws.

It is HumanGood’s policy to provide reasonable accommodations in housing for housing applicants and residents with disabilities where reasonable accommodation is necessary to provide them with an equal opportunity to use and enjoy their apartment and the common areas of the rental community where they live.

This policy is in furtherance of the goal of providing affordable housing to low-income persons regardless of disability and in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local law. A reasonable accommodation is a modification or change that the HumanGood-owned or managed Property (HumanGood Community) can make to its policies procedures, processes and or to the person’s apartment or to a common area which would assist an otherwise eligible person with a disability to benefit from the HumanGood Community provided, that the change does not pose an undue financial and administrative burden to the HumanGood Community or result in a fundamental alteration of its program.

The Reasonable Accommodation policy and procedures outlined here applies to applicants and residents at HumanGood Communities who are qualified “individuals with a disability”. The HumanGood Community may require reliable documentation or verification of the disability that the individual needs the accommodation, and that the accommodation is likely to be effective. The HumanGood-owned or managed community will thoroughly and promptly consider any request for a reasonable accommodation, and will explain the basis for any denial to the requestor. In the course of evaluating and responding to a reasonable accommodation request, the HumanGood Community will seek to engage in a process of dialogue and joint problem solving with applicants and residents.

Residents are permitted to keep common household pets in their apartments. Service or assistance animals are also welcome. Applicants and residents must inform the community’s management about their requirement for a service or assistance animal.

The Pet Rules that are attached to the Lease at this community are instituted to help maintain a decent, safe, and sanitary living environment for the residents of the community. The rules include guidelines on the registration and inoculation of pets, the sanitary disposal of waste, and the restraint of pets while in common areas, to help ensure that existing and prospective pet owners know their responsibilities to their pets and neighbors, as well as the property.

Smoking is only permitted in designated areas. Residents will be required to sign a non-smoking agreement and must undertake that they or their guests will only smoke in designated areas on the premises.
