Applicants must earn between $16,629 for a single person at 30 percent AMI, up to $93,870 for a household of four at 90 percent AMI. The eligible income brackets are listed in the chart below.
Once completed, phases four and five of Nehemiah Spring Creek will have 56-single family homes, 27 two-family homes and 1,200 affordable rental apartments. The project is part of a larger effort to transform 45 acres of land formerly used as a landfill until 1968 into a bustling mixed-use development. Phases one through three were completed in 2017, providing 368 affordable homes. The complex is conveniently located across from the newly built shops and restaurants at the Gateway Center.
