   Applying for Housing

Participants in the Public Housing program will have to pay 30% of their adjusted monthly income to the Housing Authority as their monthly rental fee. In computing their adjusted monthly income, residents will include elderly or handicapped disability payments or dependent allowances for those under 18, but subtract child care, or medical expenses for the elderly.

Residents also have to pay their own utility charges. The primary utility charges are for electricity and propane. These two utilities are used for the unit's furnace, water heater, refrigerator and cooking stove. The Housing Authority does provide a propane tank for each unit, and the resident can select any propane company they want.
The other utility charges that most residents will have to pay are their telephone and satellite dish services bills. There is no separate charge for water and sewer.         Tierra Amarilla residents will have to pay their water bill.
