KPCB Edge is an independent publisher, not a government agency. Your housing agency may cover more than one area and only it can decide whether you qualify.

Good to know
It depends on where in Indiana you live, because HUD sets a separate limit for each of its 73 income limit areas. For a family of four, the very low income limit ranges from $42,400 (Adams County, IN) to $55,150 (Indianapolis-Carmel, IN HUD Metro FMR Area). Smaller and larger households have lower and higher limits; the lookup above shows each size.
No. Places in the same HUD area share a limit, but different areas do not. Area median family income in Indiana ranges from $61,800 to $110,900, and the limits follow it.
Most new voucher families must be very low income, which is at or below 50% of the area median income. Extremely low income families get priority: by law, 75% of the families a housing agency admits each year must be extremely low income. A family at the low income level (up to about 80%) can qualify only in a few situations.
You apply to a local public housing agency, not to HUD. Find agencies near you in HUD's PHA contact directory, check whether each one's voucher list is open, and apply to more than one if you can. Applying is always free.
Gross. Your agency compares your yearly income before deductions with the limit. Deductions, such as for children or child care, are used afterward to work out your share of the rent.
