Affordable Housing Bond funds focus on rental housing for people living at 30% and 50% AMI.
New homes built for sale through the Affordable Housing Bond must earn 80% AMI or lower.
Area Median Income (AMI)
AMI is the midpoint of an area's income. AMI levels are calculated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD refers to Median Family Income (MFI) based on a four-person household. The City of San Antonio uses AMI as a tool to determine housing affordability. AMI levels are updated every year. Projects awarded Affordable Housing Bond funds focus on lower AMI levels.
