This is a chart that shows the new income limits for the Emergency Assistance family shelter program, taking into account recent changes from July, 2005 and January, 2006. So even if your income was too high before, you might be able to get shelter now.
If your income is below the limit on this chart for your family size, you should be able to get shelter if you meet all of the other rules. If your income is higher than the limit on this chart, you still may be able to get shelter, because some kinds of income do not count.
