Quick answerAs of October 30, 2026, Red Tail Crossing (formerly Kite Crossing) at 8333 S. Airport Boulevard in Westchester, Los Angeles, ZIP code 90045, has 102 apartments, 100 of them income-restricted. Access Housing LA shows its accessible-unit waitlist as "Applications closed" and prints no rents. A 2026 interview reports rents of about $380 to $2,080 a month. The owner's investor says the building filled within six months of opening. Forty one-bedrooms are set aside for people leaving homelessness or with disabilities. The flyer and listing say Section 8 vouchers are welcome. The building is reported full, so openings are the limit.

Where the records differ on the building
  • SizeLAHD, the permit, the listing and the tax-credit report say 102 apartments. KFA says 101 units and 136,400 square feet. The permit says 103,793 square feet.
  • Storiesthe permit and the listing say 4. News reports say 2 to 5.
  • Income levelsthe 2022 tax-credit report says 20% to 70% of AMI. National Equity Fund said 15% to 70% in 2022.
  • Accessible apartmentsthe flyer says 17 of the 60 lottery apartments are accessible. The listing types 16 of its 55 rows, 9 for mobility and 7 for hearing and vision.

What it means: each pair is the same measure at one date, and VoucherMatch prints both figures and does not pick one.

Rents and Income Limits at Red Tail Crossing

No current rent list was found. The Access Housing LA listing prints no rent on any apartment, and the owner's flyer lists the monthly rent as "Dependent upon income qualification."

This section prints what is published: the listing's rows, the 2022 proposed rents and the flyer's 2024 income limits.

Apartments by size and AMI level: tax-credit report, Access Housing LA rows and proposed 2022 rent
ApartmentReport, 2022Listing rowsProposed 2022
1 bedroom, 20% AMI400$443
1 bedroom, 70% AMI1010$1,552

3 bedrooms, 50% AMI44$1,536
3 bedrooms, 70% AMI55$2,151
2 bedrooms, manager22$0

What it means: the listing's 55 rows and its text, "Only 60 of the 102 units are general affordable units," differ by 7 once the 2 manager rows are set aside, by VoucherMatch's arithmetic. The 2022 figures are proposals, not current rents, and no record names the schedule that sets rents today.

Source: CTCAC staff report CA-22-025, June 15, 2022, "Proposed Rent (including utilities)" built on 2021 rents; Access Housing LA listing F6315-01, unit rows read October 30, 2026.

Rent ranges that sources report
  • HomeTown News, 2026"Rents at Red Tail Crossing range roughly from $380 to $2,080 per month, depending on household size and income."
  • Tax-credit report, June 2022$443 to $2,151 a month including utilities.
  • Urbanize LA, December 2022"$332 to $2,151 per month," from "an application for tax credit financing."

What it means: the low end is $111 apart in the 2022 sources ($443 against $332) and $63 apart against the 2026 figure ($443 against $380), by VoucherMatch's subtraction. Ask the manager for current rents.

What it means: these are 2024 limits for the 60 lottery apartments. LAHD's 2026 limits are higher, as the next table shows.

Source: Red Tail Crossing Marketing Flyer, Revised, attached to the Access Housing LA listing, read October 30, 2026. The flyer carries a footnote: "If your income is lower and you have a Section 8 Voucher, please disregard income limits."

The gaps a household could fall into
  • Sizethe flyer allows 1 to 3 people in a one-bedroom, 2 to 5 in a two-bedroom and 4 to 7 in a three-bedroom.
  • Incomethe flyer prints minimum incomes, such as $52,000 for one person at 70% of AMI. The listing says that with a subsidy "the required minimum income will be based on the portion of the rent that the tenant pays."
  • Assetsthe Apply for Housing page says net assets over $100,000, or real property suitable for occupancy, "are not permitted" under HOTMA.
  • Level gapsno apartment is at 60% of AMI, so the limits jump from the 50% row to the 70% row.

What it means: a one-person household can use only the 10 one-bedrooms at 70% of AMI in the lottery group.

What the 40 Supportive Apartments Are and How They Are Filled

Forty one-bedrooms are supportive apartments, and the owner's flyer says they "will not be part of the lottery."

LAHD's record marks the project as supportive housing, with 40 supportive units. The listing tells people to contact a CES Access Point: "If you are experiencing homelessness and want to apply for a supportive housing unit, please contact a Coordinated Entry System (CES) Access Point." The Argonaut says these one-bedrooms are "designated for the formerly unhoused and/or individuals with disabilities."

The Argonaut says HACLA will give the building 40 project-based vouchers over 20 years. HACLA's chief executive said HACLA is backing the project "with $26.4 million in rental subsidies." The tax-credit report lists "HUD Section 8 Project-based Vouchers (40 units-39%)."

How HACLA's plan says supportive apartments are filled
  • Section 3.2.1.1.2projects "will be required to use LAHSA's Coordinated Entry System to fill at least 25% of the vacancies" for units set aside for homeless applicants.
  • Section 16.33"The Coordinated Entry System must be used to fill at least four out of five vacancies" for those units.
  • This buildingthe flyer lists the program as a "Combination of CES and Non-CES units." No record opened says which share applies here.

What it means: the plan prints two shares. Supportive apartments are filled by referral, not through a public lottery.

Does Red Tail Crossing Take Section 8?

Yes, for vouchers in general: the owner's flyer says "Section 8 voucher holders are welcome to apply!" and California law protects voucher holders.

  • State law: Government Code section 12955(p)(1) says "source of income" includes "federal housing assistance vouchers issued under Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937." The state law applies in the city.
  • The listing: "Housing Choice Vouchers, Section 8 and other valid rental assistance programs will be considered for this property."
  • The flyer: "Section 8 Yes, Section 8 accepted."

HACLA sets payment standards by ZIP code, in 11 tiers, and ZIP code 90045 is in Tier 11, the highest.

What it means: the highest proposed rent is $1,658, $2,138 and $2,919 below the standard for one, two and three bedrooms, by VoucherMatch's subtraction. That figure is the 2022 proposal, not a current rent.

Source: CTCAC staff report CA-22-025, June 15, 2022 (rents include utilities); HACLA payment standards, effective September 1, 2026, Tier 11 (ZIP codes 90015, 90024, 90025, 90036, 90045 and others).

HACLA's page says payment standards "are the maximum monthly assistance that the Housing Authority will pay on behalf of the family."

No proposed rent here is above the Tier 11 standard. HACLA decides each case. The building is reported full, so a voucher holder would also need an opening.

How to Apply for an Apartment at Red Tail Crossing

No open application was found on October 30, 2026. The City's listing reads "Applications closed," and the building is reported full.

The listing is for the accessible-unit waitlist. It says: "Only people with physical disabilities may put their names on the accessible unit waiting list for mobility and hearing/vision units."

How the lottery waitlist worked, from the owner's 2024 flyer
  1. 1Apply once"Complete only one application, multiple applications will not be processed." Pre-applications ran July 1 to July 31, 2024, online, by email or at the owner's drop box.

  4. 4Wait for an openingapplicants "will be processed for available apartments in order of their waitlist number."
  5. 5Know the limit"An awarded lottery number does NOT guarantee an apartment."

What it means: the 2024 window has passed. More than 8,000 households applied, the developer's executive director told the HomeTown News.

The listing's contact is the leasing team at (310) 394-8487, extension 833. It adds: "Due to high call volume you may hear a message." The developer's page does not say whether new names are taken.

What happens after you apply, in the developer's words

  2. 2Decisionthe developer or its auditor "will review and either approve or deny the application."
  3. 3Appealput in writing within 14 days of the rejection letter's date.
  4. 4Lease signingevery adult must be there on the signing date.

What it means: these are company-wide rules, not a Red Tail Crossing notice.

Source: Community Corporation of Santa Monica, Apply for Housing page, "Tenant Selection Criteria," read October 30, 2026.

What the developer's rules ask for
  • ID. a government-issued photo ID before the lease is presented
  • Income proof. lawful, verifiable income such as pay, benefits, Social Security, VA payments or Section 8
  • Housing history. two years that landlords can verify, or three personal letters if there is a gap
  • Credit. a credit report; a negative balance "must not exceed $7,000.00" per adult, says the page; voucher holders may give other proof of ability to pay
  • Eviction record. a judgment within the last 4 years leads to denial, says the page

What it means: the page calls its criteria "a guideline" and says it may change them at any time.

Check before you paythe listing and the developer's pages print no application fee, and the 2024 form asks for none. No payment app, wire or gift card buys a place on a waiting list, and no one should charge you to see or hold an apartment. Use only the phone number on the City's listing or the developer's page, and ask for any fee in writing.

A 1940s Covenant and Why This Site Matters

Red Tail Crossing is described as the first building to use California's AB 721, now Civil Code section 714.6.

The developer's executive director described a 1940s covenant on the lot to the Argonaut. She said it "said if you're not Caucasian, then you don't have the right to live here." At least 150 Westchester properties carried the same covenant, she said.

Civil Code section 714.6 says such a covenant "shall not be enforceable against the owner of a housing development" once an approved modification is recorded. The first-project claim comes from the developer, its investor and the Argonaut. No state record was opened to confirm it.

If You Need an Apartment Sooner

Red Tail Crossing is reported full, so a household that needs to move soon should look at other buildings too.

No official current rent list was found, and the City's listing prints none. The HomeTown News reports rents of roughly $380 to $2,080 a month. The 2022 tax-credit report proposed $443 for a one-bedroom at 20% of AMI up to $2,151 for a three-bedroom at 70%. The manager has the current rents.

What are the income limits at Red Tail Crossing?

The owner's 2024 flyer lists maximums by household size, for example $67,970 for one person at 70% of AMI and $77,630 for two people. It also lists minimums, such as $52,000 for one person. No record opened says which income chart the building uses today, so ask the manager.

Does Red Tail Crossing take Section 8?

Yes, in general. The owner's flyer says "Section 8 voucher holders are welcome to apply!" and California law protects voucher holders. The listing says the minimum income is based on the tenant's share of rent after the subsidy. The building is reported full, so openings are the limit, and HACLA decides each case.

How are the 40 supportive apartments filled at Red Tail Crossing?

By referral, not through the lottery. The owner's flyer says they "will not be part of the lottery," and the listing tells people experiencing homelessness to contact a Coordinated Entry System Access Point. HACLA's plan sets the share filled that way at 25% in one section and four of five in another.

Is Kite Crossing the same as Red Tail Crossing?

Yes. Kite Crossing Apartments was the first name, used in 2021. LAHD's record says "Red Tail Crossing (fka Kite Crossing)." KFA Architecture and the developer's web address spell it "Redtail Crossing." All of them mean 8333 S. Airport Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90045, in Westchester.

Are the rents at Red Tail Crossing below market?

Yes, by every figure found. HUD's fiscal year 2027 Small Area Fair Market Rent for ZIP code 90045 is $3,530 for a one-bedroom. The 2022 proposed one-bedroom rents ran from $443 to $1,552, and 2026 press puts the range at $380 to $2,080 across all sizes. HUD's figure includes most utilities.
