About Dakotas, The
Dakotas, The is a HUD-assisted rental property in Capitola, California. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 25 total units, of which 24 receive federal rental assistance under Section 202 / 811 Supportive Housing and PRAC (Project Rental Assistance Contract). 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.
This property primarily serves elderly residents (62+). About 54% of current residents are 62 or older, which is consistent with a Section 202 supportive housing community.
A significant share of residents — about 89% — are people with disabilities, suggesting this property is structured around accessibility and supportive services.
