What counts as income?
You must include the gross (before taxes) income, income on assets or investments, and court ordered child support of everyone who is over 18 and will live in the house when you are deciding whether you fall within the income limits for the program. Income which must be counted to qualify for the assistance program may not necessarily be counted to qualify for a mortgage. We count social security, AFDC, SSI, and disability. We do not count student loans or Pell Grants.
