SECTION 1



INCOME




Income is the money you receive in exchange for your labor or products.
Income may have different definitions depending on the context—for example,
taxation, financial accounting, or economic analysis.



Types of Income

Three main categories of income that are part of taxation are:
ordinary income, capital gain, and tax-exempt income.

PUBLIC
HOUSING




Public housing is a form of housing tenure in which the property is
usually owned by a government authority, either central or local.
Although the common goal of public housing is to provide affordable
housing, the details, terminology, definitions of poverty, and other
criteria for allocation vary within different contexts.

RESIDENT
CHARACTERISTICS
REPORT
(RCR)




What Is the Resident Characteristics Report?

The Resident Characteristics Report summarizes general information
about households who reside in Public Housing, or who receive Section
8 assistance. The report provides aggregate demographic and income
information that allows for an analysis of the scope and effectiveness
of housing agency operations. The data used to create the report is
updated once a month from IMS/PIC.
