<br />Generally, households needing assistance are those households in the extremely low and very low income categories. Those are households with
<br />annual incomes less than $24,999. According to the Census, 14,698 Indian River County households were in those two income categories in 2000.
<br />Because of high housing costs, many of those 14,698 households may have housing affordability problems.
<br />For renter households, housing cost includes contract rent and some allowance for utilities. In 2000, 4,414 (40.3017) renter households with the
<br />county were pay mg more than 30 percent of their income for rent. In some cases, this represents an affordability problem, but in other cases this
<br />represents people choosing to spend a higher percentage of their income to obtain better housing.
<br />According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, 13,577 Indian River County households paid more than 30% of their income for
<br />housing in 2005. In that same year, 5,066 of those households paid more than 50%r of their income for housing.
