5-FY 2026 Income Limits Dataset Summary.pdf

This is an Income Limits Dataset Summary document prepared for the Harrisburg Housing Authority (HHA) in Pennsylvania, outlining fiscal year 2026 income thresholds and qualifying criteria. The document serves as a reference tool for determining tenant eligibility and rent calculations for HHA-owned, HHA-affiliated, and HHA-managed properties within Harrisburg. The dataset establishes income limits by household size and composition, providing the regulatory framework necessary for HHA staff to assess applicants and maintain compliance with housing assistance program requirements. This summary document supports the HHA's operational needs in managing its affordable housing portfolio and ensuring that residents meet established income qualification standards.

The Income Limits Dataset establishes baseline thresholds that directly impact HHA's tenant selection process, rent determination policies, and funding eligibility for its various properties. These income limits are tied to Area Median Income (AMI) calculations and federal housing program requirements, which determine what percentage of area median income qualifies families for occupancy and assistance programs. The dataset includes differentiated income limits based on household composition, ranging from single individuals to larger family units, enabling HHA to consistently apply income-based screening criteria across its property portfolio. Compliance with these income limits is essential for HHA to maintain federal funding streams, tax credit designations, and programmatic certifications necessary to sustain affordable housing operations throughout Harrisburg.
