HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rent, or SAFMR, is a ZIP-code-based fair market rent estimate. It can help you compare what different bedroom sizes may cost in this area.
| Bedroom | 90% | SAFMR | 110% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $1,980 | $2,200 | $2,420 |
| 1 BR | $2,124 | $2,360 | $2,596 |
| 2 BR | $2,592 | $2,880 | $3,168 |
| 3 BR | $3,456 | $3,840 | $4,224 |
| 4 BR | $4,185 | $4,650 | $5,115 |
These values are only a comparison tool. They do not replace the property's actual rent, and they do not guarantee what you will pay unless your program uses SAFMR directly.

Unlike public housing, LIHTC income-restricted apartments are privately managed and require you to apply directly to the property.

By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. Mariner's village was placed in service around 2021, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2021.
You must be of qualifying age. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for San Diego. Based on the 92139 zip code AMI (2024), this property's 50% income limit is approximately $34,108/yr for 1 person / $48,725/yr for a 4-person household.

LIHTC properties are required by law to remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years from the date they were placed in service (Mariner's village was placed in service around 2021, so rent restrictions are secured at least until ~2051). After that period, the owner can choose to exit the program or renew. Ask management about the property's current compliance end date.
In addition to the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit, this property was also financed with: non-profit sponsorship. Layering multiple housing subsidy programs is common and often allows properties to offer deeper affordability or better amenities than LIHTC alone.
HFA records show this property was acquired and rehabilitated using LIHTC funding around 2021. Renovation scope varies widely — some properties received light cosmetic updates while others were substantially rebuilt. Ask management what was renovated, the age of key systems (roof, HVAC, plumbing), and whether any additional work is planned.
