Monthly Utility Allowance and Payments

Overview
Monthly Utility Allowances
Monthly Utility Allowances
PHA calculates your utility allowance based on the lower of:
- The utility allowance amount for your voucher size; or
- The utility allowance amount for the unit size rented by your family
- For example if you have a two bedroom voucher, but rent a three bedroom unit, PHA will only calculate your utility allowance based on your two bedroom voucher size. If you have a two bedroom voucher but rent a one bedroom unit, your utility allowance will be based on the one bedroom unit size.
The HCV Utility Allowance schedule is also used in PHA’s Project Based Voucher, RAD and Mod Rehab programs
