Birch

These are FNHS's descriptions of a housing group, not a confirmed vacant apartment or an offer. Approval after application and background review is not guaranteed.

Property details

Housing type and count
Current FNHS rental page calls Birch a six-plex; the 2025 welcome letter says five units
Bedrooms
2 and 3
  • Accessible units with washer/dryer hookups, covered parking and access to small yards.
  • Tenants pay rent and electricity; FNHS says the owner covers other utilities.
  • The 2025 welcome letter describes two-bedroom/one-bath and three-bedroom/two-bath units; confirm today's unit mix with FNHS.

Eligibility and location cautions

Household income at or below 50% or 60% of area median income, depending on the unit; at least one household member must have a disability or be age 62 or older. Annual income certification is required.

The two FNHS sources disagree on the unit count. No numbered residential address or current vacancy is published; ask FNHS to reconcile the count.

FNHS's current property page and featured-rentals card say six-plex, but its 2025 welcome letter says “Birch House” has five units. Neither source establishes an available apartment.

Waitlists and screening

FNHS says its one-bedroom waitlist is closed and not taking new applications. Its current online pre-application offers two- and three-bedroom preferences; that does not confirm a vacancy or that every individual site is accepting applicants. FNHS says it uses a rental-history and background pre-screen. The form asks whether anyone in the household has been charged with a felony; the published sources do not promise acceptance or specify an automatic result for a particular record. Ask FNHS for its current written criteria.

Call 907-451-7230 or email properties@fnhs.org. FNHS lists 1427 Gillam Way as its office, not a verified residential location for any of these groups.
