One person at $59,401 to $62,159over the 50% AMI maximum and under the 60% minimum.
One person at $71,281 to $83,965over the 60% AMI maximum and under the 80% minimum. For two people the same gap runs from $81,421 to $83,965.
One person at $35,641 to $40,354, or $47,521 to $51,257the only apartment that fits is a studio, and the listing has one at 40% AMI and one at 50%.

A design diagram on Architecture Outfit's page says "All kitchen ranges are electric" and describes an "All electric system" for hot water. If tenants pay for electricity, a voucher program subtracts a utility allowance.
