Haw. Code R. § tit. 17, Hawaii Public Housing Authority, ch. 2033, subch. 7, exh. B

Current through September, 2024
Exhibit B - Insufficient Funds - Reduction, Proration, and Suspension: Sample Calculations

August 1, 2018

Tenant's Household Income = $20,000

Tenant's Monthly Rent = $1,200

Tenant's household size = 3 (includes one minor child)

$20,100 (household income)

$100 ($100 deduction for each minor child)

$20,000

X 30%

$ 6,000

- 12

$ 500 Tenant's allocable share of monthly rent, provided that the authority shall not make any monthly payments that exceed $500

Since the maximum allowable monthly Rent Supplement by HPHA = $500, the tenant must pay the remaining rent owed.

$1,200 (Tenant's monthly rent)

- $ 500 (HPHA maximum monthly rent supplement)

$ 700 (Tenant's monthly rent obligation)

1. Reduction of Maximum Supplement from $500 to $400 If sufficient funds are not available, the HPHA will reduce the maximum rent supplement payment from $500 to $400 per month for one or more months.

$1,200 (Tenant's monthly rent)

- $ 400 (Maximum rent supplement reduction)

$ 800 (Tenant's new allocable share of monthly rent after maximum supplement reduction)

2. Proration.

If sufficient funds are still not available after the reduction of the maximum rent supplement described above, the HPHA will establish a proration percentage. In this example, the proration percentage used is 25%. Tenant would receive 75% of allocable rent supplement

$ 400 (Tenant's monthly rent supplement)

- $ 100 (25% proration deduction)

$ 300 (Tenant's post-proration monthly rent supplement)

$1,200 (monthly rent)

- $ 300 (Tenant's new monthly rent supplement)

$ 900 (Tenant's new allocable share of monthly rent after proration)

3. Suspension

If sufficient funds are not available after the reduction of the maximum rent supplement described above and the HPHA determines that the proration percentage is 50% or more, the HPHA will suspend the Rent Supplement Program for one or more months.

Determined proration percentage = 55%

$ 400 (Tenant's monthly rent supplement)

- $ 220 (55% proration deduction)

$ 180 (New allocable share of monthly rent supplement)

Suspension of program. Reduction of monthly rent supplement exceeds 50% of allocable share.
