About the Event
CD1005 Understanding Workforce Housing and Affordability
When determining how to design and measure the impact of their housing initiatives, cities use the area median income (AMI) as a key metric. AMI is a measure of the midpoint of a specific area’s income and is calculated annually by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Since AMI is used to determine eligibility for housing programs, community leaders and members must understand how it all works. In this course, students will learn what AMI is, how it is calculated, why it is essential, and how housing affordability works.
