Wake County is one of the fastest growing communities in the United States, but our growth means it’s becoming harder to make sure everyone can afford to live here. We believe everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home.

All affordable housing programs qualify recipients based on their income. Since different parts of the country have varying living costs and income levels, the U.S. department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) determines an Area Median Income (AMI) for each housing market throughout the country. Family size is taken into account because of higher costs of providing for a larger family. For this years income limits, see below.
