The income schedule above is to be used for projects that DO NOT have LIHTC funding, except for those placed in service on or after 1/1/2009. SEE HERA Income/Rent Schedule for LIHTC projects placed in service on or before 12/31/2008.

(2) Other 2010 MFI levels are based on the 4-Person Income Limit of $71,200. The 1-Person family Income Limit is 70% of the 4-Person Income Limit, the 2-Person family Income Limit is 80% of the 4-Person Income Limit, the 3-Person family Income Limit is 90% of the 4-Person Income Limit. Each family size larger than four (4) is calculated by an 8% increase per HH member to the 4-Person Income Limit.
