Q & A Income Limits

Question:  We have one Section 8 contract number that covers our 24 units.  Those 24 units are actually 6 beds each in 4 different group homes, located in three different counties.  The problem is that the three counties have three different income limits.  Our software only allows us to use one set of income limits.  Which county’s income limits do we use? ~ Confused in Miami

Answer: There is a Note at the end of Section 3-6 (B)3 of the 4350.3 Handbook that indicates that you can use the highest of the three income limits for the whole contract.  Although, technically, this note refers to “a property with multiple buildings”, it would also apply to your group homes, since they’re all under one HAP contract.
