Section 8 income eligibility estimator
Housing voucher and public housing programs cap eligibility based on your household income relative to the local area median income (AMI). This tool gives a rough read on whether your household is likely to qualify before you apply.
A positive number suggests your income is under the typical very-low-income cap for your area size; a negative number means you likely exceed it for most programs.
