About Yellow Cedar Residence
Yellow Cedar Residence is a HUD-assisted rental property in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 10 total units, of which 10 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and Section 202 / 811 Supportive Housing. That means the resident's share of rent is generally limited to roughly 30% of adjusted household income, with HUD covering the remainder of the contract rent paid to the owner.
A significant share of residents — about 100% — are people with disabilities, suggesting this property is structured around accessibility and supportive services.
If you'd like to apply, contact the property's management office below. Project-based Section 8 waiting lists are managed by the property, not by your local public housing authority — you must apply to each building separately.
