disability. |

| How Does
HACB Select Residents? |
| When you submit an
application for housing, you agree to allow HACB to make inquiries and verify information
in order to determine your eligibility. We will gather and document information from
such sources as: |
| You, the applicant |
Parole officers |
| Landlords |
Court records |
| Employers |
Drug treatment centers |
| Financial institutions |
Clinics |
| Payroll records |
Physicians |
| Family social workers |
Police departments |
|
| What are
HACB Housing Rents? |
| Generally, the
monthly rent for HACB housing is 30 percent of the family's net income (gross in come
minus deductions) or a minimum rent of $50 per month, whichever is greater. We also
offer the option of paying a flat monthly rent that's based on apartment size and
community. |
| Are There
Other Charges? |
A $99 security
deposit and the first's month rent are due when you sign your lease. The security deposit,
less any charges for rent or damages, is refunded to you when you move out.
In some HACB neighborhoods, residents pay their utilities.
For these residents, we provide a monthly utility allowance in the form of a rent
credit that is subtracted from your rent every month. However, rent credits for
utility payments are not available to residents who select the flat rent option.
All HACB units are equipped with kitchen appliances(range and
refrigerator). In housing communities where residents do not pay utilities, we
assess a monthly charge for the use of additional appliances purchased by residents.
These appliances also must be approved by HACB prior to installation. |
