The Millton is an affordable housing apartment community in Redwood City offering units at various income levels: Extremely Low (30% AMI), Very Low (50% AMI), and Low (80% AMI).
Qualifications
General Overview
Pre-Waitlist & Lottery
The Millton waitlist is NOW CLOSED. The waitlist required the completion and execution of the Resident Household Composition and Income Questionnaire (RHH&IQ) for the pre-qualifying process. The form was used exclusively to establish waiting list eligibility and is not considered the full or final qualification process required for occupancy.
Our Affordable Housing had four waiting lists that are categorized by income level: "Extremely Low", "Very Low", and “Low" Income and prioritized by local preference. Waiting lists are closed when filled to capacity and reopen only when space becomes available.
The Millton will open a three-week application process for its Waiting List Lottery for households who qualify for one of three income levels. Eligible applications will be entered into a randomized lottery.
Pre-Waitlist Process: When The Millton wait list opens, applicants submit a pre-application within a specific timeframe, certifying the household composition and income.
Preferences: The Millton offers preferences to certain groups (prospects who currently live, have ever lived, currently work, or have been offered work in Redwood City or applicants displaced by City actions or public projects) which will move them higher up the final ranked list after the initial random lottery.
Random Selection: After the application period closes, a randomized drawing is conducted. Each eligible applicant has an equal chance of being selected and assigned a rank on a waiting list.
Waitlist selections: Being selected in the lottery does not guarantee housing. The selected applicants are then contacted in order of their lottery rank to complete a formal qualification review, including verifying income.
