income-restricted tax credit apartments
Maple leaf townhouses is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in Yakima, Washington. 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 Yakima. Based on 2024 data, the local AMI for the 98901 zip code is $54,851 for a single person and $78,359 for a 4-person household. These figures make Yakima tax credit apartments among the most affordable rentals 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. That works out to approximately $47,015/yr for a 4-person household in the 98901 area. 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. Maple leaf townhouses was placed in service around 2000, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2039. This property has an extended 39-year affordability commitment — providing long-term housing stability well beyond the minimum.
You must be of qualifying age. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for Yakima. Based on the 98901 zip code AMI (2024), this property's 50% income limit is approximately $27,426/yr for 1 person / $39,180/yr for a 4-person household.

This property has an extended affordability commitment beyond the standard LIHTC 30-year minimum — the record shows 39 years of affordability, keeping rents income-restricted until approximately 2039. This is a legally binding commitment, providing greater long-term housing stability for residents.
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: tax-exempt bonds, 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 2000. 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.
According to HFA records, this LIHTC property is specifically designated to serve families. This means it may have specialized services, accessible units, or preference policies that prioritize these groups. Contact management to understand their current preference and waitlist selection process — being in a designated group does not guarantee priority without a formal application.
