3 HUD areas • Effective: 2026-05-01

Who qualifies for Section 8 in Hillsborough County?

HUD sets Hillsborough County, NH income limits separately for 3 areas, so the limit depends on the town where you apply or rent. A household generally must earn no more than the Very Low Income (50%) limit for its size to qualify for a Section 8 voucher: $42,600–$51,700 for one person or $60,850–$73,800 for a family of four, under HUD's 2026 limits effective May 1, 2026. Housing authorities must give at least 75% of new vouchers each year to families at or below the Extremely Low Income (30%) limit — $36,500–$44,300 for a family of four. Find your town below.

Rule: 24 CFR 982.201(b). Income counts gross annual income for everyone in the household; your housing authority makes the final determination.
