Subsidized Housing 415-20-10-30 (Revised 10/00 ML #2629) View Archives

Renters of units in some governmental subsidized housing (including HAP renter/heat paid clients) are not directly responsible for heating costs. The rental costs for these households are based on a fixed percentage of the household's income and/or other factors. Their rental costs do NOT increase when heating costs increase; therefore, these households are NOT eligible for heating assistance from LIHEAP.

Those renters in governmental subsidized housing who are responsible for part or all of their heating costs may be eligible for LIHEAP benefits. Their eligibility and benefit level is determined in the same manner as other LIHEAP households.
