MTW: Tiered Rent Study

EHA was admitted to MTW as part of a group of housing authorities that are studying a tiered rent policy for non-elderly, non-disabled participants. Starting January 2023, enrollment will begin for EHA non-elderly, non-disabled households. Half of these EHA residents will be selected to pay tiered rent, while the other half of non-elderly and non-disabled households, as well as elderly and disabled households, will have their rent based on the current policy.

These participants will have their income reviewed and rent amount updated every three years instead of annually, and the rent calculation will be simplified.  Tiered rent participants will pay rent based on the range of income that their income falls within, which will be more predictable for participants.
