Lantern park apts (hampton) is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in Hampton, Iowa. LIHTC properties — also called Section 42 housing or tax credit apartments — are income-restricted rentals developed with federal tax credits administered by state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs). Qualifying residents pay rent based on a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Hampton. These properties are among the most affordable apartments available without a Section 8 voucher.
To qualify, your total household income must fall at or below the income limit set for this property. Unlike public housing, LIHTC income-restricted apartments are privately managed and require you to apply directly to the property. Rent is fixed at a discounted rate tied to AMI — not to your specific income — so your monthly payment stays predictable.
By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. Lantern park apts (hampton) was placed in service around 1991, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~1991.
You must be of qualifying age. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for Hampton.

We'll ask a few basic questions and then show the next step.
As a LIHTC property, Lantern park apts (hampton) requires your household income to fall below a set percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI) for the local area. The exact income ceiling isn't recorded here — ask management directly for the current income limit table for your household size.
To view the specific income caps (e.g. 30%, 50%, or 60% AMI limits) for all household sizes, check out the AMI Calculator .
Our eligibility tool automatically cross-references your household size and gross income with the local AMI database for this property to determine your fit.
LIHTC properties are required by law to remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years from the date they were placed in service (Lantern park apts (hampton) was placed in service around 1991, so rent restrictions are secured at least until ~2021). After that period, the owner can choose to exit the program or renew. Ask management about the property's current compliance end date.
According to HFA records, this LIHTC property is specifically designated to serve persons with disabilities, families. This means it may have specialized services, accessible units, or preference policies that prioritize these groups. Contact management to understand their current preference and waitlist selection process — being in a designated group does not guarantee priority without a formal application.
HUD records indicate this property may no longer be actively monitored under the LIHTC compliance program (reason: 1). This does not necessarily mean it is market-rate — some properties voluntarily maintain affordability after the compliance period ends. Call management directly to confirm the current rent structure and any remaining income restrictions.
