PRESCOTT MANOR APARTMENTS

About this property

PRESCOTT MANOR APARTMENTS is a HUD-assisted multifamily rental community located at 1601 PRESCOTT ROAD, Columbia, SC 29203. The property participates in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s HUD-Assisted Multifamily program and offers 88 federally-assisted units. This property is enrolled in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s multifamily assistance program. HUD’s contract with the owner subsidizes rent for income-qualifying tenants in exchange for the owner agreeing to long-term affordability and reporting requirements.

The community sits within the broader Columbia, SC HUD-assisted housing inventory, which includes 10 properties totaling 1,084 assisted units. Statewide, South Carolina has thousands of HUD-assisted apartments under similar contracts.

Eligibility & rent calculation

Eligibility is income-based: most assisted households earn at or below 50% of the local Area Median Income, and rent is calculated at roughly 30% of adjusted monthly income. HUD updates income limits annually for every metropolitan area and county in the country — you can look up the current figures for the Columbia area on HUD User’s Income Limits page. In practice, the rent calculation works like this: HUD takes your gross household income, subtracts allowances for dependents, elderly or disabled household members, child care, and certain medical expenses to arrive at adjusted income. You pay 30% of that adjusted figure each month, and HUD pays the property the rest of the contracted rent.

Applying & the waitlist

Most HUD-assisted properties operate their own waitlist, separate from the local Public Housing Agency’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher list. To apply at PRESCOTT MANOR APARTMENTS:

• Call the on-site management office at (803) 754-6316 and ask whether the waitlist is currently open. Some properties open the list only briefly each year.
• If the list is closed, ask when it last opened, when it is expected to reopen, and whether they keep a notification list for future openings.
• Have basic household information ready: number of household members and their ages, total annual household income, and any preferences you may qualify for (veteran, displaced, working, elderly, disabled, or homeless).
• Bring identification, Social Security cards or numbers for all household members, and the most recent income documentation (pay stubs, benefits letters, tax returns) when you submit an application.

If the waitlist at PRESCOTT MANOR APARTMENTS is closed or the wait is long, also apply for a Housing Choice Voucher through your local Public Housing Agency — see our step-by-step Section 8 application guide — and consider nearby cities in South Carolina. You can also review our eligibility checklist and tenant rights primer before you call.
