Exhibit C: HCD Income Limits - Orange County r DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION OFHOUSIIIGPOLICY DEVELOPMENT DIVISI9 OFHOUSING ro9A ° Sacco mCA 83833 r (916)203.2011GMAXIM) 227453 June 9,2017 MEMORANDUM FOR: Intt�erres d Parties FROM: Jghnder Seeg r, Assistant Deputy Director ivi ion of Housing Policy Development SUBJECT: State Income Limits for 2017 Attached are briefing materials and State Income Limits for 2017 that are now in effect and replace State 2016 Income Limits. Income limits reflect updated median income and household income levels for extremely low-, very lour-, low-, and moderate -income households for California's 58 counties. The States Official 2017 Income Limits can be downloaded on the Department of Housing and Community Development's (Department) website at httoltw .hod.m.eowamnts-funQirm(ncome-limitslstate-and-tedeml- income-fimRs.shtmi. State Income Limits apply to designated Programs and are used to determine applicant eligibility (based on level of household income) and calculate affordable housing cost for applicable housing assistance programs. Note that use of State Income Limits is subject to a particular pprogram's definition of income, family, family size, effective dates, and other factors. In addition, definitions applicable to income categories, criteria, and geographic areas sometimes differ depending on funding source and program resulting in some programs using other income limits. The Briefing Materials (next page) explain Californias 2017 Income Limits and were updated based on: (1) changes to income limits the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released on April 14, 2017 for its Public Housing and Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and, (2) adjustments the Department made based on State statutory provisions and its 2013 Hold Harmless (HH) Policy. Since 2013, the Department's HH Policy has held State Income Limits harmless from any decreases in household income category and median income levels that HUD, since 2010, began applying to its Section 8Income Limits after eliminating its longstanding HH Policy. HUD determined its HH Policy was no longer necessary due to federal law changes in 2008 (Public Law 110-98) prohibiting rent decreases in federal or private activity bond funded projects.
