Question from a Blog Reader

"Where can I find income limits for the Rural Development housing programs? Since they are based on HUD income limits, can I just use HUD's once they are released?"

Answer

Summary: No, we must wait for RD to release their limits and implement them with a different effective date than HUD.

While RD limits are based on HUD very-low (50%) and low-income (80%) limits, some of the RD programs also have the unique moderate level (80% + $5,500). RD crunches the numbers and publishes all of their limits at a time later than HUD. Taking one recent year as an example, most of the 2021 HUD income limits were released and effective on 4/1/2021, while RD published theirs later, effective 5/12/2021.
