Reported Screening Details

Reported screening statusContact property to verify
Reported policy summaryThe City's https://www.cedar-rapids.org/local_government/departments_a_-_f/community_development/housing_programs/the_heights.php describes a 25-unit affordable rental building at 1500 2nd Ave SE, developed from the former Colonial Center, with HACAP selected to manage it. HACAP's https://hacap.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/25410646161435-The-Heights-Housing-Cedar-Rapids reports 22 one-bedroom and three two-bedroom units. The City's dedicated project page and HACAP report six fully ADA-accessible units; the City's housing-program overview says five, so confirm the count with HACAP. These are building counts, not vacant units. HACAP's https://www.hacap.org/affordablehousing general application guidance asks for a $25 non-refundable fee per adult paid by check or money order, picture ID and 30 days of income documentation. Its Heights-specific help article advises applicants to consider both a Heights application and a HACAP housing application. Confirm the applicable fee, how to apply, income qualifications, current availability and property-specific criminal-history screening with HACAP at housing@hacap.org or (319) 366-7631 ext. 1502 before paying or disclosing sensitive information. The phone is HACAP's housing contact, not a verified onsite leasing line. HACAP's https://www.hacap.org/news-events/hacap-manage-heights-cedar-rapids April 2024 opening announcement invited waitlist inquiries; that historic statement does not verify a currently open list or apartment. The City's separately administered Section 8 voucher waiting list is closed according to https://www.cedar-rapids.org/local_government/departments_a_-_f/community_development/section_8_rent_assistance.php; that closure is not a statement about The Heights' separate HACAP application or voucher acceptance. Felony acceptance and a current vacancy have not been verified.
