WHo will live there?

The Lamplighter will welcome members of the community that need affordable housing, and leases will be reserved for those earning 80 percent of the area median income (AMI) or less. For example, a household of two could earn no more than $58,560 in 2024 to qualify. This is an ideal property for those at risk of eviction, as well as those who are currently homeless. Oftentimes housing like this can serve to prevent homelessness before it occurs. 25% of the units will be set aside for those with special needs who require some service in order to remain housed. There will be onsite staff coverage up to five days per week provided by The Life Link to administer these services.

The photos below are renderings depicting landscaping additions and a new wall which will be added to the property for enhanced security and privacy.
