Who is Eligible?

Eligibility for affordable housing programs is usually based on income. The most common benchmark is Area Median Income (AMI). This is the midpoint of incomes in a specific metropolitan area or county. Programs often target households earning a percentage of the AMI, such as 50%, 60%, or 80%. Check specific program guidelines tosee if your income falls within the allowed range. Family size, disability status, and veteran status can also be considerations.
