This property offers subsidized housing but the management claims to not know who provides this assistance or how to apply. This property received funding under the assumption it was building housing for the handicapped, and is fully wheelchair accessible but will not rent and discriminates against the disabled. While there are some low income people receiving financial assistance to live in this wheelchair accessable building, none of them are disabled. Even prospective tenants who do not require subsidy are not admitted to the building if they are disabled. If you feel comfortable living in units designed for the disabled and taking funding under the premise of providing housing for the disabled while the disabled have no housing...then perhaps you may like living in this building.

CHEER UP, at least it's not "BOONE LOFTS," newly "renovated," but soon to fall apart. It has *a* handicapped apt. and "handicap-accessible" doors that barely open for an able body!

Actually the building was built with tax credits for "moderate income housing", basically if you make 28-40k per year you qualify and get reduced rent.
