\"Comfort-Homes-cap\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of the 40 units available at Saipan Comfort Homes, only 22 are left available for rent, even as the fourth Triple J housing project held its official ribbon cutting yesterday.<\/p>\n

The housing project is part of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, or the LIHTC program, a federal program that allows for the use of private equity for the development of affordable housing. <\/p>\n

According to representatives of Triple J, all legal residents of the CNMI, regardless of citizenship, are eligible to apply for the housing, which costs $640 monthly and is fully furnished. It is located at Chalan Tun Antonio Apa, right across the Northern Marianas College.<\/p>\n

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the housing project is only for low-income tenants, meaning there is a maximum household annual income limit. <\/p>\n

For one person, the limit cap is at $26,040. Interested applicants who are planning to live alone in the housing project but has an annual income of more than $26,040 would be denied.<\/p>\n

For a family of two, the limit bumps up to $29,760; for three people the limit is at $33,480; for four people the limit is at $37,200; and for five people the limit is $40,200 combined.<\/p>\n

For those who avail of Northern Marianas Housing Corp.\u2019s Section 8 voucher, applicants would have to clarify with the leasing office regarding certain conditions of stay. Nonetheless, those that avail of Section 8 are qualified to apply.<\/p>\n

The lease lasts for a year and may or may not be renewed by the tenant.<\/p>\n

The unit is about 1,000 square foot and features two bedrooms, two bathroom units, garbage disposal, solid surface countertops, reverse osmosis drinking water, solar hot water system, typhoon-proof double pane windows, typhoon shutters, ceiling fans in every room, ceramic floors, access to a primary generator, uncovered parking, and an energy efficient refrigerator, stove\/oven, washer, and dryer.<\/p>\n

The housing area hosts a gated community, security cameras, a basketball and volleyball court, a community center, access to Wi-Fi, and a fitness room.<\/p>\n

As of this writing, five out of 18 units are already occupied by tenants.<\/p>\n

According to Triple J leasing manager Sophia Dela Cruz, the processing time takes at least two days, given that all necessary documents are present.<\/p>\n
