Zip code 16259 in Templeton, Pennsylvania, has a single LIHTC funded affordable housing project, Kittanning Commons, which has been serving the community since 1994. With 32 units, it represents about 4.5% of the estimated housing inventory. The project received $54,163 in tax credits, averaging $1,692 per unit. While the population and median income have shown some fluctuations over the past decade, the racial composition has remained largely stable. The absence of new LIHTC developments in recent years may indicate that the current affordable housing stock is meeting the area's needs, though this would require further investigation considering other affordable housing programs and local economic factors.
