What is LMI and How is it Calculated?HUD’s Low- to Moderate-Income (LMI) Requirement

In the event of a Presidentially-declared disaster, Congress may appropriate funds to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR). These grants fund a broad range of long-term recovery projects and help communities that otherwise might not recover due to limited resources.

For HUD’s median family income for your area, visit https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il.html.

HUD mandates how the funds can be used in a Federal Register notice. In addition, HUD may publish multiple federal registers per disaster. These rules include:

• Eligible recovery activities;• Program requirements, including distribution of funds to be spent to benefit low- and moderate-income households and allocations to HUD-identified most impacted areas; and• Specific waivers and alternative requirements.

HUD’s Federal Register notices for Hurricane Harvey require that 70% of CDBG-DR funds be used for activities that benefit low- to moderate-income (LMI) persons in aggregate.A household is considered LMI if they make less than 80% of the area median income. Income eligibility will be determined using Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for family size and verified following the GLO’s Adjusted Gross Income Methodology.
