MSHDA Income Limits 2024
Income limits are the maximum income a household can earn to qualify for MSHDA programs. These limits vary based on the number of people in the household and the property’s location. There are different limits for targeted and non-targeted areas:
Targeted Areas: These are areas identified for both first-time homebuyers and repeat buyers to apply. The income limit for buyers in targeted areas ranges from $109,440 to $174,720, depending on county and household size.
Non-Targeted Areas: These are only available to first-time homebuyers. The income limits are generally lower in these areas. The income limit for buyers in targeted areas ranges from $91,200 to $143,520, depending on county and household size.
Income limits are influenced by the area median income (AMI) and are adjusted annually to reflect changes in the cost of living and housing market trends. Income limits ensure that MSHDA programs are accessible to those with the greatest need and that housing remains affordable for low and moderate-income families.
