That is not always the case. It depends on whether you're talking about "affordable rentals" or "affordable homes" for purchase. What happens if a resident's income at some point, exceeds the eligibility window, is dependent on exactly what "program" is providing the subsidy and/or, whether it's a state or federal program.
