Frequently Asked Questions
What does AMI (Area Median Income) mean?
AMI is the median household income for a region, determined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Affordable housing programs set eligibility limits based on a percentage of this income.
- For a 30% AMI apartment, the rent is determined by your income and cannot exceed 30% of your household income.
- For a 60% AMI apartment is an affordable home designed for households earning up to 60% of the average income in the area. Rents are set below market rate to ensure housing remains affordable for income-qualified residents. The rent for this type of unit is a fixed rent amount.
What qualifies as income?
Income includes employment wages, Social Security benefits, pensions, disability benefits, retirement distributions, and investment income.
What counts as an asset?
