HUD Aims to Revise Income Limit Calculations

Income limit increases will be capped at 10%.

On Jan. 10, HUD published a notice on changes the agency is intending to make to the methodology used for calculating Section 8 income limits. HUD publishes these income limits each year based on changes to each housing area’s median income. In calculating the income limits for each housing area, HUD relies on census data, subject to various rules and adjustments.
