Eligibility
Is Generations Place the Right Fit for Your Family?
Do I Qualify?
Generations Place is federally and state supported affordable housing for moderately low-income households with minor children 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.
