Program Finder



Eligibility for HDC-financed developments is based on household annual income, before taxes, and other criteria. Depending on your income and family size, you may qualify for one or more programs. HDC program guidelines provide the maximum allowable income for each program, it is the developer of the building that sets the minimum. Income is adjusted for family size.

Income guidelines are based on how the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) calculates the City's Area Median Income, which is currently $79,200 for a family of four.

Use the Program Finder to determine your eligibility for affordable housing programs; but bear in mind that each development has specific income requirements. At the time applications become available for a development, specific income guidelines will be provided in the listing for each project at the Now Renting and the Co-ops For Sale area of the web site.
PLEASE NOTE: Every application is thoroughly checked and all assertions with regard to income and other necessary documentation are reviewed by the developer and HDC to ensure compliance with the applicable program. Tax returns and income are verified with the IRS. If either HDC or the developer notices any irregularities, the file is submitted to the City’s Department of Investigation for further investigation. It is a crime to falsify records or to misrepresent your income when applying for this City, State and/or Federally subsidized housing.
