B. In establishing or revising income limits under this regulation, the Secretary shall consider:

(1) The median income for the area;

(2) The minimum income needed to afford available standard rental units in the area;

(3) Federal income guidelines, including the requirements of the federal low-income housing tax credit program; and

(4) Any other relevant factor.

C. Limits for Shared Housing. For the purpose of determining compliance with the income limits, the Department may not aggregate the income of two or more individuals or households living together in one unit if the unit is to provide a shared living unit facility, group housing, congregate housing, or temporary shelters.
