HUD released FY21 Income Limits on April 1. The income limits determine eligibility for assisted housing programs including public housing, Section 8 project-based rental assistance, Housing Choice Vouchers, and other special-needs housing programs. HUD develops income limits from median family income estimates for metropolitan areas, parts of some metropolitan areas, and each non-metropolitan county. HUD provides a query tool for users to obtain the income limits for their area. HUD’s FY21 Income Limits are available at: https://bit.ly/31DPoNF
