| Affordable Housing: |
Affordable housing is housing that costs less than 30 percent of the household’s income. Generally affordable housing is defined based upon the area’s median income. Households earning less than 50 percent of the area median income are very low-income households, and households earning 50 to 80 percent of the median are low-income households. Federal housing programs restrict the use of funds to these income groups. There is another income category, moderate income, which includes households earnings 80 to 120 percent of median income. State housing programs allow some assistance to be given to these households. |
