RE:
Revised Income Limits for Admission and FMRs for Continued Occupancy
DATE:
August 8, 2006
*************************************************************************************
Attached please find the 2006 revised income limits for admission to state-aided
public housing and for participation in the AHVP effective August 9, 2006.
Pursuant to 760 CMR 5.06 these income limits are set at two year intervals and
are the “Low Income Limits” set by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) for a similarly sized household in the city or town in
which the LHA is located. Please review the attached listing and have the
appropriate area limits for your Authority adopted by the Board. Each LHA
should adopt limits for each specific household size, one through eight.
You will find the current Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for the area enclosed as well
for your use in determining eligibility for continued occupancy. Remember
DHCD only sends the current FMR when it revises the income limits for admission,
however, LHAs should use then current FMRs when making determinations of
eligibility for continued occupancy.
HUD has revised its MSA designations. Please note the change in
terminology this year: “HMFA” stands for “HUD Metro FMR Area”, and “MSA” stands
for “Metropolitan Statistical Area”. We have enclosed the HUD listings
showing which municipalities belong in which region; please check your region
carefully as there have been some changes from last year.
If you have any questions, please contact your housing management specialist.
