Q: What will I have to pay each
month if I am eventually provided with public
housing, or a Section 8 Certificate?
A: The federal law requires that 30% of your adjusted income must be paid
for your rent and utility expenses. There is a standard form that is used
to compute this amount. When you reach the top of the waiting list, you
will be called into the Public Housing office, and asked to provide us
with necessary information on your income and expenses.
From this information we will be able to tell you precisely how much you

your private landlord each month under the Section 8 program.
