| NOTE: Income amounts for family sizes greater than six persons were determined based on the following calculation: Add 1% to 132% for each additional family member, multiply the new percentage by $62,314, and divide by 12. Example: household size of 7: 132% + 3% = 135% × $62,314 = $84,123.90 ÷ 12 = $7,010.33 per month. | |
