How do Tax Credit Apartments work?

Garden place rcac is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 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 Milwaukee. Based on 2024 data, the local AMI for the 53224 zip code is $48,423 for a single person and $69,176 for a 4-person household. These figures make Milwaukee 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. Garden place rcac was placed in service around 2005, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2005.
