Des Moines Low-Income Apartment FAQs

HUD's LIHTC database lists 126 tax-credit apartment communities in Des Moines, together offering about 5,190 income-restricted units out of 5,705 total units.

Apply directly to the property - there is no central waiting list for tax-credit apartments. Income limits are typically around 60% of the area median income; check your household's eligibility with our income eligibility guide, and contact the community for current availability and rents.

Often yes - most LIHTC properties accept Housing Choice Vouchers, which lowers your out-of-pocket rent further. See Iowa Section 8 waiting lists to apply for a voucher.
