Title 0770 - Housing Development
Chapter 0770-03-02 - Development and Operation
Section 0770-03-02-.09 - ADJUSTMENT OF ALLOWANCE FOR UTILITIES AND OTHER SERVICES

(1) The Agency will determine, at least annually, whether an adjustment is required in the Allowance for Utilities and Other Services applicable to the dwelling units in the Program, on grounds of changes in utility rates or other change of general applicability, to all units in the Program. The Agency may also establish a separate schedule of allowances for each building of 20 or more assisted units, based upon at least one year's actual utility consumption data following rehabilitation under the Program. If the Agency determines that an adjustment should be made in its Schedule of Allowances or if it establishes a separate schedule for a building which will change the allowance, the Agency will then determine the amounts of adjustments to be made in the amount of rent to be paid by affected families and the amount of housing assistance payments and notify the Owners and Families accordingly. Any adjustment to the Allowance will be implemented no later than at the Family's next re-examination or at lease renewal, whichever is earlier.
