Appendix_D,_AMI_Chart_2026.pdf

This file is an Appendix D income limits chart for Fiscal Year 2026 programs administered by the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, establishing Area Median Income (AMI) thresholds for multiple housing assistance initiatives. The chart outlines income eligibility limits across eight household sizes, ranging from one to eight persons, with varying percentage-based AMI thresholds applicable to different program designations. The programs covered include SHIP (State Housing Initiative Partnership), HOME (Home Investment Partnerships Program), NSP (Neighborhood Stabilization Program), and TIF (Tax Increment Financing) mechanisms. Specific effective dates are provided for each program: SHIP became effective April 1, 2025, NSP effective May 1, 2024, and HOME effective June 1, 2024. The income limits scale progressively with household size, with a single-person household at 30% AMI starting at $21,950 annually and a family of eight at 140% AMI reaching $192,780 annually.

The chart provides detailed pricing structures expressed in annual income limits across multiple AMI percentage categories (30%, 50%, 60%, 80%, 100%, 120%, and 140%), which directly correspond to participant eligibility and affordability requirements for the Youth & Young Adult Employment Program that the City of St. Petersburg is administering. These income thresholds serve as critical benchmarks for determining which applicants qualify for program services and associated housing or financial assistance components. The use of multiple AMI designations indicates that different program funding sources and requirements necessitate varying income verification standards, allowing flexibility in serving populations across different economic circumstances while maintaining compliance with federal and state housing program regulations.
