METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING AMI AND RENT LEVELS

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is directing the County Mayor or designee to provide a written report assessing the methodology used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to calculate Area Median Income (AMI) for Miami-Dade County. The report will also explore potential alternative methods. The current AMI for Miami-Dade County for all families is $89,800.00, and for a family of four is $136,200.00 as of May 2026. The AMI is crucial for determining eligibility for various housing programs, including the Housing Choice Voucher program, public housing, and properties financed with low-income housing tax credits and tax-exempt housing bonds. The report is due within 90 days of the resolution's effective date.
