There will also be 24 units set aside for agricultural worker households earning 30 to 50% of the AMI. An “agricultural worker” is defined as an individual who earns a substantial portion of their income from agricultural employment. Retired agricultural workers are also eligible for these units. Jobs that qualify include, but aren’t limited to:

• Soil cultivation
• Production, growing and harvesting of any agricultural or horticultural commodities
• Raising of livestock, bees, furbearing animals, or poultry

• Delivery and preparation of commodities for market or storage

If you are unsure if your role qualifies, please email us at BGA@pshhc.org.

These income limits are effective as of April 1, 2025. They are determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and change annually.
