Cal. Civ. Code § 8-45-6
Effective date of income limit
Operative Text
Each income limit proposed by an authority in accordance with section 8-45-5 shall become effective upon its approval by the public works commissioner and thereafter shall continue to remain in effect until superseded by a new income limit proposed by the authority in accordance with said section 8-45-5 and approved by the public works commissioner.
Under Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-45 § 8-45-6, an income limit for public housing eligibility does not take effect on its own — it must first be proposed by a local housing authority and then formally approved by the public works commissioner. Once approved, that income limit stays in force continuously until a replacement limit goes through the same proposal-and-approval process. There is no automatic expiration; the existing limit remains operative until a new one is properly adopted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Housing authorities and property managers administering programs governed by Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-45 § 8-45-6 generally ensure that any income limit applied to applicants or residents has received formal commissioner approval before it is used in eligibility determinations. Compliant operators maintain documentation showing which income limit is currently in effect and when it received approval. Because limits persist until superseded, operators also track whether a newer limit has been proposed and approved so that outdated figures are not inadvertently applied.

Conn. Agencies Regs. § 8-45 § 8-45-6 establishes that the income limit used to determine your eligibility for public housing must have been formally approved by the public works commissioner — an unapproved or informally revised limit would not carry legal effect. If you believe an income limit was applied to your application without proper approval, that procedural requirement may be relevant to your situation. Tenants and applicants can contact a local tenant-rights organization or Connecticut legal aid office to better understand how this provision may relate to an eligibility decision they have received.
