The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets income limits that determine eligibility for assisted housing programs. HUD develops income limits based on Median Family Income estimates and Fair Market Rent area definitions for each metropolitan area, parts of some metropolitan areas, and each non-metropolitan county.
Corporal Daegan Page Foundation has decided to use the HUD income limits as a guide (not absolute determination) for their assistance programs.
