About Luther Properties

Overview
In 1981, several Lutheran congregations in Scott County, Iowa pooled their resources to work toward providing housing assistance to low-income elderly or disabled persons in Scott County, now known as Luther Properties.

Luther Properties works in partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) to provide subsidized residential housing to persons who are eligible to receive housing assistance based on HUD regulations. There is a total of 279 apartment units on the five properties, and all are managed by Young Management Corporation, a low income residential management company, under the general supervision of the Board of Directors.

Currently the Board is working to complete repairs to Luther Crest after having replaced part of the roof. At Luther Towers, landscaping updates are being done, and MetroNet is currently installing lines into the building and beginning to schedule work inside the units.

Affiliations
Luther Properties continues to be affiliated with various congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA), who have their places of worship in Scott County, Iowa. Any such congregation is qualified to be a member of Luther Properties, and is considered a member by selecting between one and six voting delegates to represent that congregation at the annual or special corporation meetings held during a corporate year. Having representation on the Board is also encouraged.
