CDBG-DR funds primarily benefit LMI (Low-To-Moderate Income) persons and communities, and other vulnerable members of the community who have been directly impacted by the disaster.
What is the household income limit to be considered LMI (Low-To-Moderate Income)?
- LMI (Low-To-Moderate Income) is considered to be 80% of an area’s median household income. For Maui County in 2024, the median income as determined by HUD was $110,800.
Who is considered ''vulnerable''?
- HUD identifies and prioritizes assistance for vulnerable populations that are disproportionately affected by disasters.
Broad Categories of Vulnerable Populations for CDBG-DR include:
- Low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons or households
- Kupuna
- People experiencing homelessness
- People with disabilities (includes people with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities)
If your household income exceeds the LMI limit you may not be eligible for the direct benefits provided by CDBG-DR funding. However, there could still be indirect benefits, such as improved infrastructure, community-wide recovery efforts, and other resources that support the overall resilience of the County. Additionally, the County may offer other programs or resources through different funding sources that may be more applicable to households above the LMI limit.
