Sacramento, CA 95833 f� [916] 263-2911 / FAX (916)263.7453 www.hcd.ca.00v December 31, 2021 MEMORANDUM FOR: Interested parties FROM: Megan Kirkeby, Deputy Director Division of Housing Policy Development SUBJECT: Revised State Income Limits for 2021 Attached are briefing materials and Revised State Income Limits for 2021 that are now in effect, replacing the previous 2021 State Income Limits_ Income limits have been updated in response to Chapter 345, Statues of 2021 (Assembly Bill 1043) and reflect updated median income and household income levels foracutely low -, extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate -income households for California's 58 counties. The 2021 State Income Limits are on the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) website at http:l/www.hcd.ca.aov/grants- f ending/ income-limits/state-and-federal-income-limits. shtml. State Income Limits apply to designated programs, are used to determine applicant eligibility (based on the level of household income)and may be used to calculate affordable housing costs for applicable housing assistance programs. Use of State Income Limits are subject to a particular program's definition of income, family, family size, effective dates, and other factors. In addition, definitions applicable to income categories, criteria, and geographic areas sometimes differ depending on the funding source and program, resulting in some programs using other income limits. The attached briefing materials detail California's 2021 Income Limits and were updated based on: (1) changes to income limits the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released on April 1, 2021 for its Public Housing, Section 8, Section 202 and Section 811 programs and (2) adjustments HCD made based on State statutory provisions and its 2013 Hold Harmless (HH) Policy. Since 2013, HCD's HH Policy has held State Income Limits harmless from any decreases in household income limits and median income levels that HUD may apply to the Public Housing and Section 8 Income Limits. HUD determined its HH Policy was no longer necessary due to federal law changes in 2008 (Public Law 110-98) prohibiting rent decreases in federal or private activity bond funded projects.
