* The FY 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act changed the definition of extremely low-income to be the greater of 30/50ths (60 percent) of the Section 8 very low-income limit or the poverty guideline as established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), provided that this amount is not greater than the Section 8 50% very low-income limit. Consequently, the extremely low income limits may equal the very low (50%) income limits. Social Security Numbers for each family member must be verified. A Birth Certificate or DD Form 214 is required to verify citizenship. A criminal background check is performed on all family members over the age of 18.
There are required forms which must be reviewed and signed by all family members over the age of 18.
