Area median income levels and income limits Area median income levels
"Area median income" means the midpoint income for this area – half of all wage earners have salaries higher than the median, and half of all wage earners have salaries lower than the median. Each year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets area median incomes for the Seattle area. The Seattle Housing Authority uses these figures to establish income limits and waiting-list preferences for our programs. These figures are updated annually and may change without notice. Income limits for SHA programs Note: Housing Choice Voucher Program income limits are not shown because the housing authority is not currently accepting applications for that program. The income limit for the Housing Choice Voucher Program is 50 percent of area median income (see Table 1, above).
All of Seattle Housing Authority's housing
programs have income limits. Income limits vary by program.
For
example, to be eligible for Low Income Public Housing or the
Seattle Senior Housing Program, you
must earn 80 percent of area median income or less. (See Table 1 for area median income levels in
Seattle.) These
figures are updated annually and may change without
notice. |
