Commonwealth of Massachusetts DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Deval L. Patrick, Governor Timothy P. Murray, Lt. Governor Tina Brooks, Undersecretary Public Housing Notice 28-5 TO: All Local Housing Authorities MEMORANDUM FROM: Maura J. Hamilton, tau of Housing Management RE: Revised Income Limits for Admission and FMRs for Continued Occupancy DATE: August 29, 28 ************************************************************************************* Attached please find the 28 revised income limits for admission to state-aided public housing and for participation in the AHVP effective August 9, 28. Pursuant to 76 CMR 5.6 these income limits are set at two year intervals and are the "Low Income Limits" set by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a similarly sized household in the city or town in which the LHA is located. Please review the attached listing and have the appropriate area limits for your Authority adopted by the Board. Each LHA should adopt limits for each specific household size, one through eight. You will find the current Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for the area enclosed as well for your use in determining eligibility for continued occupancy. Please note that DHCD only sends the current FMR when it revises the income limits for admission. When making determinations of eligibility for continued occupancy however, LHAs should use the then current FMRs. In 26, HUD revised its MSA designations. The terminology: "HMFA" stands for "HUD Metro FMR Area", and "MSA" stands for "Metropolitan Statistical Area". Enclosed for your reference is the unchanged HUD FY6 MSA Community Listing showing which municipalities belong in which region. If you have any questions, please contact your housing management specialist. 1 Cambridge Street, Suite 3 Boston, Massachusetts 2114 www.mass.gov/dhcd 617.573.11
