(b) To be eligible for a hardship loan the applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Chief Administrative Officer that: (1) the applicant's income does not exceed 80 percent of the median family income of the San Francisco-Oakland Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area as determined

by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); and (2) that the applicant does not have other assets to correct housing code violations without jeopardizing the ability to be self supporting.
