How do Tax Credit Apartments work?
North park is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in San Diego, California. LIHTC properties — also called Section 42 housing or tax credit apartments — are income-restricted rentals developed with federal tax credits administered by state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs). Qualifying residents pay rent based on a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI) for San Diego. These properties are among the most affordable apartments available without a Section 8 voucher.
To qualify, your total household income must fall at or below the income limit set for this property. Unlike public housing, LIHTC income-restricted apartments are privately managed and require you to apply directly to the property. Rent is fixed at a discounted rate tied to AMI — not to your specific income — so your monthly payment stays predictable.
By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. North park was placed in service around 2000, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2000.
Before You Apply

How long will North park remain affordable housing?Open

After that period, the owner can choose to exit the program or renew. Ask management about the property's current compliance end date.
