A two-person family living in San Francisco can qualify for affordable housing if their total income is up to $ 138 000.
The decision was made by the city council to expand housing assistance for people with higher incomes, reports abc7.
San Francisco last updated its policy to provide affordable housing for the population in 2002.
Prior to that, those in San Francisco, whose income was 55% of the city average, could count on help. Therefore, if the average income was $ 77 734, then in order to qualify for affordable housing, it was necessary to receive $ 42 753 or less per year.
In accordance with the new plan, affordable housing can be provided to anyone with an income up to 150% of the average. One person will have to earn $ 120 000 per year, and a family of two will earn $ 138 000. Such a family will have to pay for one-room housing a little more than $ 2 800 per month.
