Important:
- For projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of HOME-assisted units must have rents at or below the Low HOME Rents and the tenants' incomes must be at or below 50% of median income.
- No tenant may sign an initial lease in a HOME-assisted unit if the household income exceeds 80% of AMI.
- During occupancy, if a tenant's income rises above 80% of median income, then the tenants must pay 30% of their adjusted income for rent. Exception: federal tax credit projects.
