The “2026 HUD Income Guidelines” page serves as an essential reference for developers, housing agencies, and applicants participating in Hawaiʻi’s affordable housing programs. It provides the official U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income limits, which are used to determine household eligibility for various assisted housing initiatives. 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.
