Administrative agents shall use the current regional income limits for the purpose of pricing affordable units and determining income eligibility of households.

Regional income limits are based on regional median income, which is established by a regional weighted average of the "median family incomes" published by HUD. The procedure for computing the regional median income is detailed in N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.3.

Updated regional income limits are effective as of the effective date of the regional Section 8 income limits for the year, as published by HUD, or 45 days after HUD publishes the regional Section 8 income limits for the year, whichever comes later. The new income limits may not be less than those of the previous year.
