#### Regulation .03 Table of Uncapped Low Income Limits as Adjusted for Family Size.

*COMAR 01.02.06.03*

The uncapped low income limits as adjusted for family size calculated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for assisted housing programs appear below. Since the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development only adopts uncapped low income limits as adjusted for family size for the Washington, D.C. area, only the Maryland counties included in the Washington, D.C. area can adopt the figures.
