Income tiers
HUD defines three affordability tiers as percentages of Area Median Income (AMI):
- Extremely Low Income (ELI): ≤30% of AMI. Highest priority for most vouchers.
- Very Low Income (VLI): ≤50% of AMI. Base eligibility threshold for HCV.
- Low Income (LI): ≤80% of AMI. Broader programs like LIHTC, some PHAs allow up to this for admissions.
PHAs must admit at least 75% of new HCV families at ELI under 24 CFR 982.201.
