Each year, the Area Median Income (AMI) is updated by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to reflect median household income in counties across the country. AMI is used to determine eligibility for many affordable housing programs, helping ensure that housing opportunities are available to the individuals and families who need them most.

The 2026 AMI numbers are in and serve as the benchmark for income limits across a variety of housing programs. These guidelines are an important tool in expanding access to affordable housing and a more inclusive community.

Visit our website to view the 2026 Napa County AMI numbers and learn more about what these income limits mean for affordable housing opportunities in our community: https://ourtownsthelena.org/affordable-housing-data/

A new chapter for affordable housing in St. Helena is taking shape. 🏡 Introducing Fountain Street, a future affordable housing development designed to create more opportunities for local residents to live, work, and thrive in our community.

Located on a 1.75-acre site to be donated by the family of Joseph Phelps, Fountain Street will provide 40 affordable rental apartments for households earning 60% and below the Area Median Income for Napa County.

Follow along as we share more about Fountain Street. If you would like to learn more or make a donation to this project, please visit: https://ourtownsthelena.org/fountainstreet/
