BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Applications opened Thursday for a number of designated low-income apartments in Beverly Hills.

Three one-bedroom apartments are available in a 30-unit building located at 321-327 S. Elm Drive, according to the city. Applications will be accepted through February 17. The application can be downloaded using this link.

Qualifying households must have an annual income between:

• $41,701 - $66,750 for one-person households.
• $47,651 - $76,250 for two-person households.
• $53,601 - $85,800 for three-person households.

Depending on household size, the rent for each unit will be between $1,043 and $2,145, according to the city of Beverly Hills. Applications can be submitted via email to rent@theelmview.com, mailed to 333 S. Beverly Drive, Ste. 105, or submitted in person to the same address between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. daily.

Qualification for affordable housing units in the city is calculated using county-wide data on median local income based on household size. Multiple tiers of income ranging from acutely low, or up to 15 percent of the median income int he area, to moderate income, or between 80 and 120 percent of the local median income. In Los Angeles County, the median local income for 2022 was $91,100 per year, according to the city's website.

Prices for the units are then set based on the assumption that any household should not spend more than 30 percent of its monthly income on rent.

"The role of the City’s affordable housing program is to work with the developer to ensure that the affordable housing unit is rented out to a household that is qualified based on their level of income," the city of Beverly Hills said on its website. "The City also works with the developer to ensure that the application process for the affordable housing units complies with the City’s affordable housing guidelines, which set forth the appropriate process for accepting and processing applications for the housing unit."
