A tennis pro once known as Milt

A redesigned studio apartment at Prentis.

and garbage disposals should help attract new tenants,
said Marsha Goldsmith Kamin, Jewish Apartments and
Services executive director.
"Back in 1991, we had an influx of New
Americans, and they needed housing right away. We
filled [Prentis Apartments] up. We had a long waiting
list," said Goldsmith Kamin. "Now the number of New
American immigrants has leveled off— that's the main
reason for the vacancies."
JAS is looking for three tenants to pay a market
rate of between $479 and $491 a month, while six
apartments will be subsidized, she said.
"With the subsidized units, people can live in a one-
bedroom apartment for the same money as a studio, at
one-third of their income," she said.
Figuring on cheaper land and construction costs —
and easier upkeep for the frail elderly who would popu-
late them — Prentis has 112 studio and 56 one-bed-
room apartments, well above the minimum 25 percent
studio apartment requirement.
The income level requirement for subsidies is
$34,950 for a single person or $39,950 for a couple.
