The LIHTC-funded housing in Pearl offers a range of unit types, including 98 one-bedroom, 176 two-bedroom, 45 three-bedroom, and 12 four-bedroom units. This distribution accommodates various household sizes and needs. The Crestview Apts - Pearl project specifically targets single-parent families, addressing a particular demographic requiring affordable housing support.

Pearl's population has remained relatively stable over the past decade, with minor fluctuations. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, increasing from $51,125 in 2013 to $58,345 in 2022. This rise in median income may indicate an increasing need for affordable housing options to support lower-income residents.

Racial demographics in Pearl have shifted, with the Black population increasing from 25% in 2013 to 37% in 2022, while the White population decreased from 67% to 56% during the same period. These demographic changes may influence the demand for affordable housing and the communities served by LIHTC projects.

Pearl's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory represents a significant investment in addressing low-income housing needs, despite its modest size compared to the total housing stock. The city's participation in the LIHTC program over three decades, with a concentration of development in the late 1990s, demonstrates a long-term commitment to affordable housing. The diverse unit types and targeted projects like Crestview Apts indicate efforts to meet varied housing needs. As Pearl's demographics continue to evolve, ongoing analysis of affordable housing demand and provision will be essential for addressing the community's changing needs.
