Here are the California HUD Income limits used to qualify for Federal and State housing assistance programs that limit maximum rents and housing costs that may be charged to eligible residents, usually based on their incomes.
Low-income housing provides housing opportunities for people who are unable to afford ever-rising rental rates.
In order to qualify for affordable housing, your gross annual household income must not exceed the income limits in the tables below for each income category. These income limits are set by the California Department of Housing and Community Development and/or United States Department of Housing and Urban Development for Orange County and are updated on an annual basis.
