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.
Turn your estimate into an availability checkActual eligibility is set by HUD income limits for your specific county and household size; the housing authority confirms this during application.
