Utility Allowances (PH)
Update 2024
A monthly average cost of the summer and winter adjustments were used for the electric and natural gas costs where applicable.
L & A = Lights and Appliances
H = Space Heating
WH = Water Heating
C = Cooking
EE Equip = Energy Efficient Equipment
Win = Windows
Note: Public Housing utility allowances are calculated similar to the method used by each utility provider. These allowances are not calculated by end use (like Section 8 HCV), but by total usage for each utility type. Utility providers' monthly charges are included in the calculations.
