HPD officials say affordable housing is based on a household’s percentage of Area Median Income (AMI), which is set by the federal government on a yearly basis. Housing is considered affordable if it costs about one-third or less of household income, and is regulated so the rent can’t go up dramatically over time.

They said in order to be eligible for affordable housing, residents must be 18 years old, and their household income needs to be in a specific range for each affordable housing opportunity. Applicants are required to meet additional guidelines, including asset limits, and tenant selection criteria to qualify.

 

The AMI for all cities across the country is defined each year by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 2025 AMI for the New York City region is $145,800 for a three-person family (100% AMI). We have previously asked HUD to provide the AMI for the New York City region for a single person and have not received a clear response. We’re following up with HUD and will share any further feedback we receive. For more background on this, click here.
