Waiting List Opens for Future Apartments

The city of West Hollywood is establishing a waiting list for moderate-income people seeking one of about 25 apartments expected to be created there over the next two years.

Under the city’s housing ordinance, a priority list of people seeking affordable housing is provided to developers who have agreed to build the moderate-income apartments in exchange for city approval of their projects.

The basis for eligibility will be determined by the applicants’ verified annual income and household size. The definition of moderate income ranges from $16,917 to $21,146 a year for a one-person household and $22,015 to $27,519 for a family of four. The monthly rent is $429 for a single unit and $668 for a two-bedroom unit.
