AFFORDABLE HOUSING
LTSC CDC (Little Tokyo Service Center) has a commitment to manage affordable housing properties in greater Los Angeles area. We currently have communities in Little Tokyo,
Chinatown, Echo Park and Koreatown. Our senior housing buildings are in Torrance and Sun Valley.
These areas are divided into regional "hubs" (areas) which you can apply to individually.

ELIGIBILITY
Eligibility is based on income and the size of the family. A family must have a total family income below the limit. Each building has a different set of restrictive AMI (Area Median Income) limits. We also review credit and criminal history, eviction, and previous landlord
recommendations.
The income limits listed below are current as of January 2015, but may change without notice.
Eligible income limits require your income be below a specified AMI (area median income). Income Limits Family Size 35% AMI 50% AMI 60% AMI 1

RENT AMOUNTS
Affordable housing rents are not determined by household income. You must show you are able to pay rent when due and take care of the apartment.
If the community is supported by subsidies from HUD or HACLA, the rents are based on income.
Only these properties participate in a subsidy program: Palm Village (seniors), JCI Gardens (seniors), PHD Apartments, Menlo Family Apartments (special needs) and Far East (special needs).
