HOME Program

Rent and income limits are established and updated periodically by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They apply to the HOME-assisted units throughout the Period of Affordability.

Rent Limits For HOME-Assisted Units

Effective: June 1, 2018

The maximum allowable rent must be reduced by any tenant-paid utilities. When adjusting rents, use the utility allowances published by the Housing Authority of Clackamas County.

  • No tenant may sign an initial lease in a HOME-assisted unit if the household income exceeds 80% of AMI.
  • During occupancy, if a tenant's income rises above 80% of median income, then the tenants must pay 30% of their adjusted income for rent. Exception: federal tax credit projects.
