Living Programs
Francis Scott Key Apartments offers both market-rate and income-restricted apartment homes. Select apartments participate in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, which establishes household income limits and rent restrictions.
LIHTC itself does not provide rental assistance. Households receiving separate rental assistance may have a different tenant payment. Contact our leasing team to discuss rental options and availability.
