Area Median Income (AMI)

About AMI

Area Median Income, or AMI, is the middle income for households in San Antonio and Bexar County — half of households earn more, and half earn less.

Why It Matters

This program is for households with low to moderate incomes. To qualify, your household income generally needs to be at or below 80% of the AMI. Both your total household income and the number of people living in your home are used to determine if you qualify. Check the chart below to see if your household may qualify.

Find Safer Homes for Your Family. The City of San Antonio's Green & Healthy Homes program is working to protect children and families from the dangers of lead-based paint. Through this program, homes and rental units receive repairs that remove or control lead hazards. To help families find safe housing options, we maintain this Lead-Safe Housing Register.

Lead is especially harmful to young children and pregnant individuals. Living in a lead-safe home helps protect your child's health and gives families peace of mind.
