National Objective Codes

The three main National Objective Codes we use are:

LMA areas can be identified using the  City's LMI Census Tracts Map

• LMC Low/mod limited clientele benefit Activities that benefit a limited clientele, at least 51% of whom are low/mod income. LMC activities provide benefits to a specific group of persons rather than to all the residents of a particular area.
