Income Guidelines Top

CVH is a Section 42 property. This means we are part of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC). This program is regulated under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The tax credit encourages developers to build affordable housing to meet the needs of the community. Affordable rents are defined and calculated based on Median Household Income figures published every February/March by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

To determine your eligibility for a tax credit unit (CVH is 100% tax credit), you will be asked to complete an application that requests information regarding your household composition, income and student status.

Maximum qualifying income:

One person – $35,220/year
Two people – $40,260/year

"Income" is your total of gross wages: social security and pensions, for example. "Assets" are calculated to include all interest income: dividends from savings and investments. (Details to be discussed.)

Community Features

Our Community Center features a large social area where residents get together for potlucks, Bingo, card games, and crafts. Laundry facilities are also available in the Community Center.
