|summary=Low-income housing refers to housing that is intended for households with low incomes.
}}
In the United States, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines low-income as households that earn 80% or less of the area median income (AMI). The AMI is the middle income for a given area and is based on the income of all households in the area. For example, if the AMI for a certain area is $75,000, then a household earning $60,000 or less would be considered low-income.

Low-income housing can take many forms, such as public housing, low-income housing tax credit properties, and community land trust homes, to name a few. The goal of low-income housing is to provide safe, decent, and affordable housing to households who are unable to afford to rent or purchase housing on the open market. These properties are usually maintained to a high standard, and tenants often have a secure tenancy, meaning they can stay in the property for as long as they wish, provided they follow the terms of the tenancy agreement. The rent for low-income housing is usually lower than market rents and is based on the tenant's income.
