FPL- The Federal Poverty Level is actually referring to the Federal Poverty Guidelines which are published by the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) each year in the Federal Register. This table is used to determine financial eligibility for certain federal programs. It is a simple statistical representation of poverty.
The following table represents the official poverty line for households (100% FPL). Programs use a percent of the poverty line to determine eligibility. For example, a household can receive CSBG-ARRA services if they are at or below 200% of the 2009 Poverty Guideline.
Household of 2 is eligible at or below 200% FPL (($14,570 * 200%) = $29,140)

AMI- The Area Median* Income is referring to the US Census calculation of Eugene/Springfield and Lane County's median household income. Programs calculate a household's eligibility by comparing the household's income to the median income for the state.
For example, a household can receive HPRP-ARRA services if they are at or below 50% of the 2009 Area Median Income for Eugene/Springfield and Lane County.
The AMI (Area Median Income) is very similar to the OMI, but not exact. Page down to view OMI details.
Household of 2 is eligible at or below 50% AMI (($45,800* 50%) = $22,900)

* The MEDIAN is the number in the middle. In order to find the median, you have to put the values in order from lowest to highest, then find the number that is exactly in the middle: 80 85 90 ^ 90 90 100 Since there is an even number of values, the MEDIAN is between the first two "90" values so it is 90. Notice that there is exactly the same number of values ABOVE the median as BELOW it regardless of what the values are.
OMI- The Oregon Median Income is referring to the US Census calculation of Oregon's median household income. Programs calculate a household's eligibility by comparing the household's income to the median income for the state.
Household of 2 is eligible at or below 50% OMI (($47,167 * 50%) = $23,583.5)
