Income Limits

HUD Income Guidelines, Effective April 1, 2021

Families admitted to the Section 8 program must be extremely low income (30% of area median income), or very low income (50% of area median income).  If a family was participating in any other 1937 Housing Act program at the time they were issued a voucher, they may qualify with income up through the low income category (up to 80% of area median income).
