DHCD generally uses the definitions of “low” and “moderate” as defined in CDBG regulations, which correspond to the “very low” and “low” in the HOME and Section 8 Regulations (see chart above). Since 1999, however, DC has been exempted by HUD from these limits and permitted to use “Uncapped Limits” (i.e. the actual 80% of the Area Median Income for the DC Area). DHCD may use the exemption, as necessary, in its CDBG and HOME programs.
