2026 HUD Income Guidelines
Posted on Apr 21, 2022 in Posts: Main Screen
The 2026 HUD Income Guidelines page serves as an essential reference for developers, housing agencies, and applicants participating in Hawaiʻi’s affordable housing programs. This resource provides the official U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income limits used to determine household eligibility for various assisted housing initiatives.
For Residents
These schedules determine if your household qualifies for affordable rentals or for-sale units based on county, family size, and Area Median Income (AMI) tiers.
For Developers
These tables set the maximum rent and sales prices required to keep LIHTC and RHRF-funded projects compliant with state and federal regulations.
The page hosts detailed schedules—broken down by county, family size, and area median income (AMI) percentages—that define the thresholds for “very low income” and other affordability tiers. Additionally, it offers critical guidance for developers, including Multifamily Tax Subsidy Project (MTSP) limits and tables for establishing affordable rent and sales price guidelines, ensuring that projects funded by programs like the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) or the Rental Housing Revolving Fund (RHRF) remain compliant with state and federal standards.
