Definitions:

Rent 0-30% - These are units with a current gross rent (rent and utilities) that are affordable to households with incomes at or below 30% of HUD Area Median Family Income. Affordable is defined as gross rent less than or equal to 30% of a household's gross income.

Rent 30-50% - These are units with a current gross rent that are affordable to households with incomes greater than 30% and less than or equal to 50% of HUD Area Median Family Income.

Rent 50-80% - These are units with a current gross rent that are affordable to households with incomes greater than 50% and less than or equal to 80% of HUD Area Median Family Income.

Rent > 80% - These are units with a current gross rent that are affordable to households with incomes above 80% of HUD Area Median Family Income.

Value 0-50% - These are homes with values affordable to households with incomes at or below 50% of HUD Area Median Family Income. Affordable is defined as annual owner costs less than or equal to 30% of annual gross income. Annual owner costs are estimated assuming the cost of purchasing a home at the time of the Census based on the reported value of the home. Assuming a 7.9% interest rate and and national averages for annual utility costs, taxes, and hazard and mortgage insurance, multiplying income times 2.9 represents the value of a home a person could afford to purchase. For example, a household with an annual gross income of $30,000 is estimated to be able to afford an $87,000 home without having total costs exceed 30% of their annual household income.

Value 50-80% - These are units with a current value that are affordable to households with incomes greater than 50% and less than or equal to 80% of HUD Area Median Family Income.


Value > 80% - These are units with a current value that are affordable to households with incomes above 80% of HUD Area Median Family Income.

HAWC Tenant Buys Home - Friday the 13th was a very lucky day for one of HAWC's tenant families.  After receiving Section 8 rental assistance for a number of years, the dream of home ownership was realized.  Patricia M. credits her relationship with the HAWC staff and Linda Rhodes of the Family Self-Sufficiency program for keeping her on track to obtain her goal of good credit and enough savings to cover the down payment on the home she chose and has resided in for 1 1/2  years.

Check out HAWC's home ownership programs for both low-income and moderate-income families.  Where will you be living 5 years from now?
