Across Texas, the need for affordable housing is growing every day. Despite increasing costs of living, wages are only keeping pace with inflation at a much slower rate \u2013 leading to almost half of Texans spending more than 30% of their household income on shelter alone! Current policies, unfortunately, don\u2019t go far enough to bridge this gap; out of 100 Extremely Low-Income renters (defined as individuals earning \u226430% Area Median Household Income), there are just 30 units available per capita according to the National Low-Income Housing Coalition 2018 Gap Report. With these disparities in mind \u2013 it\u2019s never been clearer that we must work together towards an answer and provide safe, secure homes for our fellow neighbors who most desperately require them.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=”What Is AMI?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ title_font=”|600|||||||”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

Knowing your area\u2019s median income can give you valuable insight into the financial health of a region. It is often referred to as either \u201cA-M-I\u201d or Median Family Income (MFI) and indicates which households are classified in the \u2018middle\u2019 range economically. Looking at this key figure allows for an understanding of how various communities compare financially, making it easier than ever before to uncover important information about any locality.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=”North Texas AMI” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ title_text_align=”center” title_font=”|600|||||||” custom_padding=”50px||||false|false”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
