10 <br /> As a supplement to this discussion, Board members asked staff various questions during the presentation <br /> of the annual LHA report at the February 17, 2026 Business meeting. Those questions with answers are <br /> presented here as follows: <br /> • What accounts for the 225 "No Data" on the age demographics table, compared to last year's <br /> zero? <br /> o Last year two (2) staff members met with every applicant who had not fully completed <br /> their application in order to assure they were complete. This year, with the increased <br /> volume of applicants, this was not possible. That number serves as an indicator of the <br /> percentage of applications that are submitted incomplete and required intensive follow- <br /> up from staff. <br /> • Income/Home Values <br /> o 2025 Income Limits are below(full AMIs can be found at this link). <br /> Persons In Family 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 <br /> Low (80%) Income 64,750 74,000 83,250 92,500 99,900 107,300 114,700 122,100 <br /> Limits ($) <br /> o 2024 Home Value Limits are below (full limits can be found at this link). <br /> House Size 1 Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Bedroom 4 Bedroom <br /> Home Value Limit $403,000 $515,000 $624,000 $773,000 <br /> • Does the application reference the exception listed on the website for elderly and disabled <br /> households? <br /> o No. Because staff does not request home value on the application (that information is <br /> accessed directly from tax records based on the Parcel ID number provide), possible <br /> exceptions to the home value limit are not listed. <br /> • Average/Median tax bill, as compared to 2024: <br /> 2024 2025 Increase Percentage <br /> Average Orange County $1,883.28 $1,967.86 4.5% <br /> Tax Bill <br /> Median Orange County $1,740.47 $1,855.22 6.6% <br /> Tax Bill <br /> • Request to track home valuation by number of years owned: <br /> Years Owned Number of Median Home Average Home <br /> (Purchased Year) Households Value Value <br />
