Income Limits for Section 8
Providers determine eligibility for Section 8 based on total annual gross income and family size. The household income cannot exceed the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s income limits. There are three categories:
- Extremely Low-Income (ELI): HUD defines ELI incomes as those that “do not exceed the greater of 30 percent of the median family income for the area or the federal poverty guidelines as published by the Department of Health and Human Services.”
- Very Low Income (VLI): VLI incomes are 50 percent of area median incomes.
- Low Income (LI): LI incomes are 80 percent of area median incomes.
