Frequently Asked Questions
Do income-restricted residents have fewer amenities?
Not at all. Every resident at The Corliss enjoys the same apartment finishes, layouts, and community amenities, regardless of income qualification.
Do I need a voucher to qualify for an income-restricted unit?
No. Applications are made directly through our leasing office. You do not need to hold a voucher or participate in an external program.
What documents will I need to verify eligibility?
Applicants typically provide proof of income, such as recent pay stubs, tax returns, or award letters, along with documentation verifying household size. Our leasing team will guide you through each step and provide a full checklist during the application process.
What is the housing tax credit program?
The Corliss participates in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, which helps create high-quality, affordable housing. Through this program, rent amounts are limited based on income guidelines, allowing residents to enjoy modern apartments at reduced rates.
How do I qualify?
Qualification is based on your household’s annual gross income and the number of occupants. To qualify, your household’s total income must fall within the income limits established by HUD for Milwaukee County (see above). Our leasing team can confirm eligibility during your application process.
How does this program benefit residents?
The LIHTC program makes it possible to live in modern, newly built communities—like The Corliss—without exceeding your budget. It ensures fair access to comfortable, energy-efficient housing designed with long-term value in mind.
What is the application process like?
The application process is straightforward. After completing your initial application, you’ll provide income and household documentation for review. Once verified, our leasing team will guide you through the leasing steps and move-in preparation.
Is this an annual process?
Yes. Income qualification is verified annually to ensure continued eligibility under HUD and LIHTC program guidelines. Our leasing team will help you complete recertification each year.
What is included when calculating income?
All sources of income are considered, including wages, social security, pensions, and other recurring earnings. Our team will provide a full list of what counts as income during the verification process.
