The Des Moines Greystones consist of 26 single-family homes in Des Moines. The design is inspired by the unique Chicago Greystone architectural style, variations of which are ubiquitous throughout the City of Chicago. Each home has four bedrooms and two and half bathrooms, along with a large open kitchen and living room area.
The homes are rent to own homes, providing an incubation space for future homeowners. Applicants will be required to take home-ownership classes and do basic home maintenance in preparation for owning a home in the future. Each month, $50 from rent will be saved in an escrow account and will be available for the tenant if they choose to purchase a home immediately after tenancy at the Des Moines Greystones.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
This project has received some funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME). In projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of these units must be occupied by families earning 50% or less of area median income (AMI). All other HOME-assisted units must be occupied by families earning 80% or less of AMI, but in practice most are reserved for families earning 60% or less AMI. Maximum monthly rent is capped with a Low HOME Rent for <50% AMI units and a High HOME Rent for the remaining HOME-assisted units. Contact the property directly for the specific dollar amount of these rent caps.
