Income Eligibility Calculator for ESG
The Community Planning and Development (CPD) Income Eligibility Calculator has been expanded to include the ESG Program.

The Income Eligibility Calculator is an interactive tool that automates calculation of an individual or family income, to determine eligibility for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs.

The calculator asks a series of questions, depending on the program (e.g. ESG, HOME, HOPWA, etc.), activities, and other inputs. The user enters information about the program applicant, while the calculator generates a summary of results for each applicant. The user then saves or prints the summary sheets to include in the client's file.

The CPD Income Eligibility Calculator is available on HCA Help Desk, under Resources, within the respective Program-Related Tools and Documents.
