Sun Tower

This is a HUD community and a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program community.

The rent for a HUD-assisted apartment is based on a household’s income. The tenant’s portion is typically calculated as 30% of their monthly adjusted income (Total Tenant Payment), less any applicable utility allowance.

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

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.

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.
