Eligibility & Income Restrictions

‍

We look forward to welcoming you to your new home at our community. We are pleased to offer apartment homes for unrestricted and restricted-income residents.

For restricted-income residents, we offer lower rents than market rate communities. This is due to our community's special financing that allows our apartments to be affordable to moderate income households due to its participation in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. To qualify for these apartment homes, applicants must meet certain eligibility requirements. Your application for residency may require you to provide supporting documentation, but the extra time you spend upfront will provide you with the ongoing benefit of a place you will be proud to call home at an exceptional value.

In order for you to be aware of the requirements associated with residency, please review the following prior to beginning your application.

ORLANDO, KISSIMMEE, STANFORD, FL MSA- ORANGE, LAKE, OSCEOLA AND SEMINOLE COUNTIES

Apartment homes not subject to restricted income limits are also available at this community.

Your Application will be considered canceled if you falsify any information and up to $200 of the Holding Fee may be forfeited.

Your household’s income is calculated as the total for household members based upon their income from any source, including but not limited to, wages, social security payments, retirement benefits, military and veteran's disability payments, unemployment benefits, welfare benefits, and interest and dividend payments.

ARE THERE INCOME REQUIREMENTS?

Yes, the table below indicates the maximum allowable household income based upon the number of members who will reside in the home.We anticipate that these income limits will be updated around April of each year. If you believe your income is slightly in excess of these levels and April is approaching, it is possible that the income limits will be increased.

WHAT CAN CAUSE THE RENT TO CHANGE AFTER MOVE IN?

The following indicates when adjustments to your rent may occur after you move in:

There is a change to cost of your options at time of lease renewal.
When HUD issues new Maximum Allowable Rents, which typically occurs on an annual basis around April or May and may not coincide with your lease term.
There is a change to cost of your options at time of lease renewal.
If there is an adjustment to your utility allowance. This may occur up to once each year and may result in a decrease or increase to your rent.

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF HAVING STUDENTS IN THE HOUSEHOLD?

If everyone in your household (including children) are full-time students, at least one person must meet one of the following eligibility requirements:

Be married and eligible to file a joint tax return.
