Valley view apts is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in Mc Gregor, 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 Mc Gregor. Based on 2024 data, the local AMI for the 52157 zip code is $51,989 for a single person and $74,271 for a 4-person household. These figures make Mc Gregor tax credit apartments among the most affordable rentals 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. Valley view apts was placed in service around 1993, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~1993.
You must be of qualifying age. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for Mc Gregor. Based on the 52157 zip code AMI (2024), this property's 50% income limit is approximately $25,995/yr for 1 person / $37,136/yr for a 4-person household.
