The definitions were not changing. She also reviewed the updates to the Administrative Procedures document. Chapter 8 was updated annually. It provided the affordable rental rates, affordable sales prices,payment in lieu calculations,mortgage rates. etc. The big driver in this one was the AMI,"Area Median Income."
