Income Limits

Income limits are established for Santa Clara County by HUD. These limits are used in determining a household's eligibility for certain Housing Authority programs, such as HCV, Project-Based Assistance and Shelter Plus Care.  These programs serve Very-low income (50% of Area Median Income [AMI]) and below.  For some programs, at least 75% of new admissions must be Extremely-low income (30% of AMI) households.
