What this means for you
This property includes LIHTC tax credit · 60% AMGI AMI. Rent rules can change by unit, so ask the office which program applies to the apartment you want.
LIHTC: These are income-based apartments with rent limits tied to the local Area Median Income (AMI) — not market-rate rent. Rent limits are set from the local AMI. If this property also has rental assistance, some tenants may pay about 30% of adjusted income.
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 | $792 | $880 | $968 |
| 1 BR | $873 | $970 | $1,067 |
| 2 BR | $1,143 | $1,270 | $1,397 |
| 3 BR | $1,467 | $1,630 | $1,793 |
| 4 BR | $1,512 | $1,680 | $1,848 |
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.

Cleveland forward phase one is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in Cleveland, Tennessee. 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 Cleveland. 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 — currently 60% AMGI of AMI. 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. Cleveland forward phase one was placed in service around 2022, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2022.
You must be of qualifying age. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for Cleveland.

LIHTC properties are required by law to remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years from the date they were placed in service (Cleveland forward phase one was placed in service around 2022, so rent restrictions are secured at least until ~2052). After that period, the owner can choose to exit the program or renew. Ask management about the property's current compliance end date.
Yes. HFA records show this property has federal project-based rental assistance. This means qualifying tenants may pay as little as 30% of their adjusted monthly income toward rent, with the assistance contract covering the remainder. Confirm with management which units carry the rental assistance and whether any are currently available.
In addition to the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit, this property was also financed with: Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) conversion, 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 2022. 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.
HFA records indicate that Cleveland forward phase one is a scattered-site property, meaning income-restricted units may be spread across more than one address or building in the area. Before applying, ask management for the exact addresses of available units so you can evaluate commute, transit access, and neighborhood fit for each location.
