There is no debt on this development. Tenant rent pays 40% of the operating costs. Congress allocates funding for all HUD programs annually. HUD recaptures excess reserves held by a Housing Authority. Operating funding is determined using a formula which considers the cost of the utilities included in the rent, cost of the audit, the age of the building and the vacancy rate. Funds must be used for routine property management. The Board of Commissioners approves the operating budget each year in April. Operating funding from HUD usually does not meet all of the operating costs and has not been awarded on a regular schedule. Capital funding is intended for non-routine maintenance and capital improvements. Annually, funds are awarded based on age of the property, type of structure and number of units. The Board of Commissioners approve the five year capital improvements plan and prioritize spending once Capital funds are awarded by HUD.

Minimum and maximum rents are budget based. The minimum rent is the monthly per unit cost of routine operating costs. The minimum rent includes paying a mortgage on this property at 1% interest rate. As explained in the audit report, this building has an interest credit to reduce the cost of operating. The maximum rent includes a mortgage payment at the note rate as started when the mortgage originally loaned to the Housing Authority. None of the units are handicapped accessible. All units have the bathroom on the second floor and a full basement.
The Board of Commissioners and USDA Rural Development approve the operating budget and rent change annually. Routine operating expenses include replacement of appliances and carpets as needed. Budget planning takes into account anticipated unit turnover and costs to prepare units for re-rental.
A Reserve for Replacement account is a separate account for capital improvements. Monthly deposits are made to the project reserves. Rural Development approval is needed for any expenditure from the Reserve account.
