Rental rates and income limits are set by the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency according to Bay Area income data. Residents are required to provide income verification twice a year in the form of wage statements or income tax returns. Tenants whose income exceeds the recommendations for very low
income housing will be asked to move, to make way for qualified applicants.
