When working with ESG program income limits, please be aware that the “Extremely Low Income (ELI) families" limits do NOT apply to the ESG or Continuum of Care (CoC) programs. ESG does not use the ELI measure to establish income limits but instead uses the 30% of Area Median Income (AMI) income limits. Please use the 30 percent AMI tables. If ESG subrecipients were to use the ELI standard, some applicants for ESG assistance might be falsely determined to be eligible, when actually their incomes were over 30 % AMI.

  Finally, please note that under the ESG program, income eligibility is based on the HUD income limits in effect at the time of income verification. Income eligibility is not based on HUD income limits that correspond with the grant year under which the ESG funds were awarded.
