Rental Assistance Payment Standards

To view the list of towns serviced and the approximate amount the BHA may approve for total monthly rent(utilities included) click here

*Numbers are as of February 1, 2006. To view the utility allowance chart click here

These numbers are only approximate and vary depending on size of building, type of utilities and other factors. A final determination of apartment eligibility will be made after the voucher holder submits a "Request for Tenancy Approval" and the BHA conducts a detailed calculation of rent, utility payments and other factors. Questions regarding the rental assistance program should be directed to staff in the Leased Housing Department.
