The person currently owes rent or other amounts to SARA or to another PHA in connection with Section 8 or public housing assistance under the 1937 Act. Within 14 days of receiving a request for alive-in aide, including all required documentation related to the request, SARA will notify the family of its decision in writing. At a family's annual recertification SARA will review and confirm the continued need for the live-in aide. PART II: BASIC ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA 3-II.A. INCOME ELIGIBILITY AND TARGETING Income Limits HUD is required by law to set income limits that determine the eligibility of applicants for HUD's assisted housing programs, including the housing choice voucher program. The income limits are published annually and are based on HUD estimates of median family income in a particular area or county, with adjustments for family size. Types of Low-Income Families [24 CFR 5.603(b)] Low-income family. A family whose annual income does not exceed 80 percent of the median income for the area, adjusted for family size. Very low-income family. A family whose annual income does not exceed 50 percent of the median income for the area, adjusted for family size. Extremely low-income family. A family whose annual income does not exceed 30 percent of the median income for the area, adjusted for family size. HUD may establish income ceilings higher or lower than 30, 50, or 80 percent of the median income for an area if HUD finds that such variations are necessary because of unusually high or low family incomes. Using Income Limits for Eligibility [24 CFR 982.201] Income limits are used for eligibility only at admission. Eligibility is established by comparing a family's annual income with HUD's published income limits. To be income-eligible, a family must be one of the following: • Avery low-income family • Alow-income family that qualifies for voucher assistance as anon-purchasing household living in HOPE 1(public housing homeownership), HOPE 2 (multifamily housing homeownership) developments, or other HUD-assisted multifamily homeownership programs covered by 24 CFR 248.173 • Alow-income ormoderate-income family that is displaced as a result of the prepayment of a mortgage or voluntary termination of a mortgage insurance contract on eligible low-income housing as defined in 24 CFR 248.101 • Alow-income ormoderate-income family that is displaced due to action by the City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency.
