Eligibility
Is Generations Place the Right Fit for Your Family?
Do I Qualify?
Generations Place is part of a federally supported affordable housing program for working people and families in Island County. Eligibility is based on combined household income—specifically, five units are designated for households with no more than 60% Area Median Income (AMI) for our region, and nine units are limited to households with no more than 80% AMI.
What is AMI?
Area Median Income (AMI) is the midpoint of household incomes across a geographic area, calculated annually by the federal government. At Generations Place, apartments are designated for households earning between 60% to 80% of the Island County AMI, depending on the unit. These limits are set by federal program guidelines—not by Island Roots Housing or Ad-West Realty Services—and apply to affordable housing throughout Island County.
