To be eligible for admission to public housing or the Housing Choice Voucher Program an applicant's annual income shall be within the limits of lower income families established by HUD, based on the family size.
Income limits for lower income families and very low income families shall be as established and revised periodically by HUD. HUD establishes low income limits based on eighty percent (80%) of the area median income, very low income limits based on fifty percent (50%) of the area median income, and extremely low income limits based on thirty percent (30%) of the area median income.
Income limits shall be applied at the time of eligibility determinations by the Client Placement Division.
Based on HUD regulations, DCHA shall ensure that actual admission of eligible lower income families from the Public Housing Waiting Lists is as follows: at least forty percent (40%) shall be families with extremely low incomes at the time of commencement of occupancy. Actual admission to RAD Covered Projects from the Public Housing Waiting Lists shall be governed by Section 5708 of this Title 14.
