What does the Resident Selection Criteria (RSC) mean by 30%, 40% 50%, 80%? Each percentage number represents an income maximum that must not be exceeded in order to qualify for that apartment.

Area median gross income is determined by HUD each year and is a different amount in different areas and locales. Rents are determined by the maximum allowable income incorporated in the development. A unit designated for the 30% AMGI occupant must provide documentation to show their income does not exceed the published income provided by HUD annually.
