2013 Income and Rent Limits for CDBG, HOME, NSP, LIHTC and HPTF Programs

If you haven't yet you should take some time and visit the DC Department of Housing and Community Development website. They have a wealth of information on services, resources, and program information. A great source for DC homeowners and renters.

I was able to pull information on income and rent limits for some of their programs -- such as the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program -- a program that accounts for much of the financing for large scale residential projects east of the river. 

This page will provide the current income and rent limits for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funded activities, as well as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF) income and rent limits. These limits have been approved and issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Effective dates are noted next to each funding source and until further notice, project sponsors currently receiving CDBG, HOME, NSP, LIHTC or HPTF funds should use the following limits as they set their Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 occupancy and rent guidelines. The Washington, DC area median income, as determined by HUD for FY2013, is $107,300
