How It Works

Find Homes That Fit Your Income

01

Look for P6 or P8

Essential Housing floor plans end in ".P6" or ".P8" on our Floor Plans page, such as S1.P6, A1.P6 or B2.P8.

02

Match Your Income Limit

P6 homes are for households earning up to 60% of the area median income (AMI). P8 homes are for households earning up to 80% of AMI. Limits are set by home size.

03

Meet the Rent Requirement

Whether you choose a P6 or P8 home, your household must also earn at least 2.5 times the monthly rent.

Income Limits

Maximum Annual Household Income

Income limits at Azure are based on the Houston area median income and set by home size. We qualify applicants on gross annual household income.

Studio$49,920$66,560
1 bedroom$49,920$66,560
2 bedroom$62,400$83,200

All P6 and P8 applicants must also meet the 2.5x monthly rent income requirement. Income limits are subject to change each year. Contact our leasing team for current limits and details on acceptable proof of income.
