Eligible Income Levels by Household Size

A�ordable housing is based on a household’s percentage of the area median income (AMI), which is set by the federal government. Housing is considered a�ordable if it costs about one-third or less of what the people living there make, and is regulated so the rent can’t go up dramatically over time. The numbers on this chart reflect 2018 AMI levels.

NYC creates a�ordable housing opportunities for households at a wide range of sizes and income levels.This chart helps explain the income categories that we use, which vary by household size, so you can see where you and your family fit in:
