AREA MEDIAN INCOME (AMI)
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) calculates the Area Median Income or AMI. AMI is what half of the households in the local area make for a family of 4. That number is then adjusted for smaller and large household sizes.
To document your income, you will be asked to certify under penalty of perjury that you do not have any income or that you have income from wages, self-employment, benefits such as Social Security or CalWORKS, unemployment, and payments such as foster care payments. If you have income, you will be asked to provide verification, such as a paystub, or notice of award.

To read this chart:
- Find your household size. Household size is listed across the top of the chart.
- Find your income category. The income category shows the highest amount of income for each household size.
- Example: If you have currently have 3 people in your household, and your income from work is $17 per hour before taxes. Your annual income would be $35,360. Looking at the Column 3 (Number of persons in household), that income is less than $35,550 (see row D).
