HOLLYWOOD ARTS COLLECTIVE

HOW ARE RESIDENTS SELECTED AND ARE THERE ANY PREFERENCES?

This project will serve low-income households. This project has a preference for artists.

All eligible applications for Hollywood Arts Collective will be entered into a random selection lottery. The list of those selected in the lottery will be posted. The location and date of the posted list of lottery winners will be provided in a letter that will be sent to all applicants confirming receipt of their application. Applicants chosen in the lottery but not assigned a unit will be placed on a waiting list for future availability. Please refer to the Tenant Selection Plan for complete details.

Hollywood Arts Collective is a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) project. LIHTC is the most prolific program available to developers to create affordable housing for low-income Americans. The tax code allows an artist preference in LIHTC projects. For projects with an artist preference, that means that housing units are filled first with applicants who meet the eligibility criteria for the artist preference. If the units cannot be filled with eligible artist candidates, the units will be filled with applicants from the general pool.

For the Artist Preference, “artist” is someone who is regularly engaged in an artistic, creative, or cultural activity or practice and pursues such practice on a professional basis. For an this definition, artistic, creative, or cultural practices may include the following disciplines:

• Performing Arts including dancers, actors, musicians, singers, songwriters, puppeteers, composers, choreographers, and  arts and entertainment workers.
• Media Arts includes television, radio, documentaries, digital media, animation, new media, and production-related arts and entertainment workers.
• Interdisciplinary Art include installation art, public and performance art, and time-based, experiential art.

• Visual Arts include, painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography, mixed media, and design.
• Folk Arts and Crafts including beadwork, masks, textiles, jewelry, and glass.

Under the Artist Preference, eligible applicants will meet one of the following two criteria:

• The applicant will first be evaluated based on Income from Arts Work. The applicant must provide documentation to demonstrate earnings, from all eligible disciplines, over $6,500 annually for three out of the last five years. If the applicant does not meet this Income from Arts Work eligibility criteria; then the applicant will be evaluated using the second include.
• The applicant will be evaluated based on engagement in and professional commitment to Artistic Practice which will be evaluated and determined based on a portfolio review by the Artist Committee.

More details on income requirements and eligibility criteria for the artist preference will be available in the application and other marketing materials.
