Rents are income restricted at Chisholm Ranch Apartments thanks to Dallas County Housing Finance Corporation (HFC) and federal financing earmarked for this type of apartment building.

We agree to keep the rents income restricted for a long time and we agree only to rent to those households for whom this housing is targeted.

Income levels are published once each year by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). For 2026, the highest household incomes allowed in order to rent at Chisholm Ranch Apartments are as follows:

Maximum Gross Income Limit Based on Household Size @ 50% of Area Median Income (AMI)

Based on the chart above, households cannot reside at Chisholm Ranch Apartments if their household income exceeds the maximum income limit for their household size.
Household size is determined by the total number of persons in the household.
