The income from all members of the family are added together, allowances are then deducted, this is called your adjusted income. Your portion of rent and utilities will be at least 30% of your adjusted income. The contract rent and tenant paid utilities are compared to the Payment Standard [January 2024] (the maximum benefit allowed by the housing agency). If the contract rent and tenant paid utilities are within the Payment Standard, 30% of your adjusted income will be your Tenant Rent. If the rent and utilities are more than the Payment Standard, this is called “overage”, the voucher holder will pay the Tenant Rent plus the “overage”. Utility Allowance is the term given to tenant paid utilities, this amount is deducted from the Tenant Rent for any tenant paid utilities. They are based on a conservative use of the utility, not the actual amount paid by the tenant. Utility allowance charts are updated annually.

• The building must pass a Housing Quality Standard inspection (see below).
• The rent must be reasonable. The rent that the landlord is asking is called the contract rent; this rent must be reasonable. The rent reasonable test is based on rents charged for similar apartments in the area.
• The rent must be affordable. A Payment Standard [January 2024] is set by Westbrook Housing for all unit types. If the rent plus utilities is at or below the Payment Standard, the voucher holder will pay 30% of their household income. At the initial lease-up, if the rent is more than the Payment Standard, the voucher holder will be allowed to pay up to an extra 10% of their household income toward the rent. A rent higher than the Payment Standard may be too expensive for the program. Contact a Program Officer for assistance in determining affordability.
