About This Franklin Apartments
This apartment complex is designated for individuals with low income. The government provides funding directly to the owner, allowing them to offer lower rent to those who qualify. If you are interested in subsidized housing with reduced rates for low income individuals, please contact the apartment at (301) 270-5525. The Franklin is a spacious and comfortable living space located in a lovely neighborhood in Takoma Park, Maryland, approximately one mile from the Red Line's Takoma Metro Station. The Franklin offers a range of units, including efficiency, one- and two-bedroom apartments, which are reserved for elderly and/or disabled residents who qualify for Section 8. Through this program, HUD provides affordable and well-maintained housing to low and very low income households. The building comprises eight floors distributed among three wings, with a total of 185 units. Originally built in 1952, the Franklin underwent significant renovation in 2010-11, funded in part through an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus loan administered by HUD. The renovation included the installation of a new heating and cooling system, new windows, and a geothermal system for heating and cooling the management office, lobby, and community room. The renovation also included the replacement of old toilets with new, water-conserving ones, as well as improvements to the community room and laundry facilities. Finally, low-VOC paints and finishes were used throughout the renovation. The Franklin is also able to accept HUD subsidies, with rent based on 30% of your Adjusted Gross Income if you qualify for low income housing and apartments are available. 1 and 2 bedroom apartments are available at this location.
