What Qualifies as 'Low Income' in California's Major Cities?

The California Department of Housing and Community Development has released new income limits that determine eligibility for affordable housing programs. In Los Angeles County, a single-person household making just under $71,000 is considered low income, while San Francisco, Marin, and San Mateo counties consider single-person households making $104,000 a year as low income. The income limits vary by county and are based on federal guidelines.
