What is my household size?
Household size is determined by the number of people (children and adults) who live in your home full time. All adult household members will need to provide identification and income verification.
What do you mean by income eligible?
Each year both the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the State of California provide estimates of median income for each county in California. To be income eligible for our program, your household must make at or below 80% of the area median income for your household size.
How do I determine my annual income?
Your annual income is a combination of your current gross income (from wages, SSI, self-employment, etc.,) and asset (checking, savings, retirement, etc.,) accounts.
What if I own additional property?
Owning additional property is allowed. You must provide the deed and mortgage for the property (or proof of no mortgage).
What if my home is in a trust?
If your home is in a trust, at least one of the owners has to be named on the trust and live in the home full-time.
