For purposes of calculating the maximum rents, the following maximum occupancy assumptions are made, as per HUD (Housing and Urban Development) guidelines: UTILITY ALLOWANCE If the tenant is required to pay for utilities, the maximum rent must be reduced to account for the cost of such utilities (a “utility allowance”). A utility allowance is an estimate of the cost of the reasonable consumption of those essential utilities. Utilities include gas, electric, water, and trash disposal and, if the tenant supplies a refrigerator and/or stove the tenant will receive a utility allowance. The utility allowance does not include the cost of telephone or cable services. The Utility Allowance amount is established by the Housing Authority of Alameda County and revised periodically. The most current Utility Allowances for Alameda County may be accessed at the following web site: www.haca.net, click on “Participants”, then click on “Utility Allowance.” QUESTIONS?
