Public House has integrated calculations for AMI income limits across Campaigns, Properties, and Service Files.
Calculation Types
- Median – 4 Person 100% AMI multiplied by Max AMI%, multiplied by the household size adjustment, no rounding.
- HUD – MAX AMI% = 80%: 4 person 80% AMI multiplied by the household size adjustment then rounded up to the next $50. MAX AMI% ≠ 80%: 4 person 50% AMI multiplied by 2, multiplied by Max AMI%, multiplied by the household size adjustment then rounded up to the next $50.
- MTSP (Multifamily Tax Subsidy Projects) – 4 Person 50% AMI multiplied by the household size adjustment then rounded up to the next $50, multiplied by 2, multiplied by Max AMI%.
- Modified – The modified AMI for the appropriate household size multiplied by Max AMI% with specified rounding.
- Override – Disables calculations. Limits and % must be manually entered by staff. Only available on Service Files.
Configuring Income Limits
- AMI – The Area Median Income record to use in calculations.
- Max AMI Calc Type – The calculation method: Median, HUD, MTSP, Modified, or Override.
- Max AMI% – The maximum AMI percentage used to determine the upper income limit.
- Min Calculation Type – Select AMI% to use the same calc type as Max AMI. Select Override to set a fixed min income.
- Min AMI% – Only used if Min Calc Type = AMI%.
- Min Income – Fixed minimum income value. Only used if Min Calculation Type = Override.
Campaign Income Limits
Housing Program Campaigns set the income limits on Screening Forms and Intake records. This is manually set on each campaign.
Property Income Limits
Property income limits are used to filter Prospects and Applicants from waitlists/campaigns to show in the Candidate Pool.
Service File Income Limits
On the Service File, income limits are used to determine if applications qualify for your programs. The income limit parameters are populated from the Housing Program Campaign for new Service Files.
Income limits are recalculated on Service File on change of any of these fields: Minimum Allowable Income, Maximum Allowable Income, Household Size, AMI, Minimum Allowable % of AMI, Maximum Allowable % of AMI, Min Calculation Type, Max Calculation Type.
Service Files have an Override option for Max and Min Calc Type that prevents values you've entered from being recalculated — useful when manually entering historical records.
