HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 — Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs · 2026 edition · updated 2026-10-05 · United States
- A. Key Requirements
For each project assisted under a contract for project-based Section 8 assistance, the owner must lease not less than 40% of the dwelling units (assisted under the contract) that become available for occupancy in any project fiscal year to extremely low-income families. The methodology for incometargeting must be described in the tenant selection plan. (For information and guidance about income limit exceptions, see paragraph 3-7.)
NOTE: Compliance with income targeting requires owners to count both moveins and initial admissions to the Section 8 project based assistance program. For example, an initial certification processed to move a tenant from Section 236 assistance to Section 8 assistance is counted for income targeting.
NOTE: Income targeting does not apply to the Section 202 PAC, Section 202 PRAC, Section 811 PRAC, RAP, Rent Supplement, Section 221(d)(3) BMIR or Section 236 programs.
