The two-story apartment building,
located at 1050 Freemont Street, is set to open in March 2018 and will consist
of fifty (50) units of affordable senior housing, 33 one-bedroom and 17
two-bedroom dwellings. While all the units in the senior apartment building are
aimed at being affordable for area seniors who meet certain income
qualifications, the City of Yorkville has established a senior housing
assistance program for qualifying tenants for three (3) one-bedroom apartments
within Anthony Place.
Eligibility for the City’s Senior
Housing Assistance Program requires the head of household be 55 years or older
with all other household members being at least 45 years old. Income limits for
individual tenants must be $19,200 or less annually, and joint incomes for two
person households must be $21,930 or less annually. The Yorkville Senior Housing Assistance
Program will arrange financial assistance for tenants by covering a portion of
rent and utilities, based on the tenants’ income. Applications will be accepted in-person on a
first-come/first-serve basis at City Hall on February 1, 2018 beginning at 9:00
AM until 4:00 PM. Preference for
enrollment in the Senior Housing Assistance Program will be given to Yorkville
residents who are Military Veterans, Yorkville residents, and eligible
participants through the Illinois Housing Development Authority State Referral
Network.
Rental assistance applications
can be found on the City’s website at http://www.yorkville.il.us/DocumentCenter/View/4353. After February 1st, a waiting list
of eligible applicants will be maintained for the entire 10-year term of the
Senior Housing Assistance Program should a unit(s) become available in the
future.
