Income Limits for Affordable Housing

To qualify for affordable housing in Fremont, applicants must meet certain income limit requirements.

Please refer to the table below for the income limit requirements for affordable housing based on household size. Please use the table to assist you in determining if you are income eligible for affordable housing. A downloadable PDF of the table is also available.

If you have questions, please contact the City's Housing division by email or call 510-494-4500. 

Income Limits by Household Size by
Percent of 2023 Area Median Income (AMI) Figures

To qualify for affordable housing, applicants cannot exceed the annual gross income listed in the table below based on their household size. For example, to qualify for a very low income unit at 50% AMI, a 2-person household cannot earn more than $59,200 a year to qualify.

30% or Less = Extremely Low Income
40% to 50% = Very Low Income
60% to 80% = Low Income
90% to 120% = Moderate Income

*Due to adjustments by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the income percentages will not correspond with Area Median Income figures.
