Income Guidelines
Area Median Incomes By Tennessee County
The Housing Fund’s lending and community-impact programs adhere to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development’s Income guidelines for Area Median Incomes or AMIs (currently for 2024).
Requirements by Product
The Housing Fund’s Down Payment Assistance and Shared Equity lending programs serve homebuyers earning up to 120% of an Area Median Income, while the Nashville-based Community Land Trust program only serves populations earning 80% of AMI and below.
County AMI Tables
The Housing Fund’s home-loan programs adhere to income-eligibility guidelines under three tiers for Area Median Income (AMI) percentages by Tennessee county: Tier 1 is 80% of AMI; Tier 2 is 100% of AMI; and Tier 3 is 120% of AMI.
