About OAKRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD (DMACC)
OAKRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD (DMACC) is a HUD-assisted rental property in Des Moines, Iowa. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 150 total units, of which 150 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and Section 8 LMSA. That means the resident's share of rent is generally limited to roughly 30% of adjusted household income, with HUD covering the remainder of the contract rent paid to the owner.
If you'd like to apply, contact the property's management office below. Project-based Section 8 waiting lists are managed by the property, not by your local public housing authority — you must apply to each building separately.
