This property is part of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a federal initiative designed to provide affordable housing to income-eligible individuals and families. It is regulated by the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) and federal housing guidelines.
Yes. Residency is restricted to households whose total income does not exceed the limits set annually by the DSHA. These limits are based on the number of people in your household and the area median income (AMI).
Rents are capped and calculated according to DSHA’s published guidelines. The maximum rent for each unit is based on household size, income level, and unit type, and is adjusted periodically by DSHA.
All applicants must submit documentation to verify household income and eligibility. This includes pay stubs, tax returns, and other financial records. Qualification also involves an application process and background checks.
Yes. As part of LIHTC program compliance, tenants must undergo annual recertification to ensure they still meet income eligibility requirements. This process is also governed by DSHA policies.
If your income increases above the eligibility limit, you may still remain in your unit depending on specific program rules, such as the “next available unit rule.” However, your status will be reviewed during your annual recertification.
Absolutely. This property complies fully with all federal and state housing laws, including the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin.
The Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) monitors and enforces compliance with LIHTC regulations, including tenant eligibility, rent limits, and annual reporting requirements.
We strive to stay fully compliant with all current regulations. However, due to the evolving nature of housing policy, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free compliance at all times. We remain committed to addressing any changes promptly and responsibly.
