Poway Villas: A Winning Formula for Preservation

Poway Villas is a 60-apartment, 100% Section 8 community in the City of Poway, California. The 40-year-old property was preserved by San Diego-based Community Housing Works (CHW). Poway Villas is an example of how to successfully layer Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC’s) with Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rent subsidies to preserve and renovate aging housing assets in the absence of city, county and state funding.
