Eligibility for AHS's Public Housing and Section 8 voucher programs is based on gross income and family size. In general, this means that a family's income can't exceed 50% of Albuquerque's median income, which HUD has determined is currently $54,200 for a family of four. The table at right shows the income limits we use to determine if you are eligible.
Currently, the demand for housing assistance in Albuquerque exceeds our program resources. This means that qualified applicants are placed onto our waiting list. AHS recognizes the federal preferences for applicants who have been involuntarily displaced, those who have lost their home because of flood or fire, or those who need to move to avoid reprisals (like someone in a witness protection program). AHS also has established some local preferences for applicants which include preferences for those who are employed or going to school, or participating in welfare-to-work or job training programs, and for applicants who are disabled or handicapped. Applicants who receive one or more of these preferences will move ahead of those with no preferences on the waiting list.
