Tenant Pamphlet on Utility Allowances

Many federally assisted tenants throughout the country are being overcharged for rent because their utility allowances are too low. NHLP has developed a pamphlet regarding utility allowances in federally subsidized housing. Designed for tenant leaders, this pamphlet provides a basic overview of how utility allowances work. It will help your clients identify whether there is a problem with the allowances and, if so, how they can seek assistance from housing advocates and attorneys. Please feel free to reproduce this pamphlet and distribute it widely.
