Lead grantees can determine to target households with a lower area median income. <br />Income limits are based on Area Median Income (AMI) which can be located for each county at: <br />www.huduser.gov (Data Sets, Income Limits). <br />Income is money that is paid to, or on behalf of, any household member. Income includes the current <br />gross income (annualized) of all adult (18 years and older) household members and unearned income <br />attributable to a minor. Income eligibility determinations are based on the household's income at <br />program entry. Income inclusions and exclusions are listed in the Electronic Code of Federal <br />Regulations, www.ecfr.gov, Title 24 — Housing and Urban Development: Subtitle A 0-99: Part 5: Subpart <br />F: Section 5.609 Annual Income. <br />Gross Income is the amount of income earned before any deductions (such as taxes and health <br />insurance premiums) are made. <br />Current Income is the income that the household is currently receiving. Income recently terminated <br />should not be included. <br />4.5.1 Income Eligibility Exemptions <br />Income eligibility verification is never required for households receiving only flexible funding. <br />Page 1 22 <br />
