As of December 31, 2022, the County’s median income is $119,100 per year for a family of four. Approximately 90% of families on the program earn less than 30% of the median income, which is $40,650 per year for a family of four (4). Participants’ incomes come from a variety of sources, as illustrated in Chart 6. A total of 36% of participating families have income from employment. Participating families pay a portion of their monthly rent based upon their income and the payment standard for their unit. The Housing Authority pays the difference between the tenant’s portion and the contract rent. This payment is the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP). The average HAP for October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was $1,395. *Note: Chart 6 does not add up to 100% because the income of some participants comes from multiple sources.
