Public Notice - Annual Review of Local Utility Rates and Consumptions

In accordance to 24 CFR 982.517 and LMHA Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Administrative Plan Chapter 16-II.C. LMHA conducted the required annual review of local utility rates and consumption. Based on the review, LMHA has updated its utility allowance and schedules. LMHA will implement the revisions to its HCV utility allowance schedules on January 1, 2018.

A LMHA-established utility allowance schedule is used in determining family share and LMHA subsidy. LMHA must maintain a utility allowance schedule for (1) all tenant-paid utilities, (2) the cost of tenant-supplied refrigerators and ranges, and (3) other tenant-paid housing services such as trash collection.

LMHA must review its schedule of utility allowances each year, and must revise the schedule if there has been a change of 10 percent or more in any utility rate since the last time the utility allowance schedule was revised.

LMHA must maintain information supporting its annual review of utility allowance and any revisions made in its utility allowance schedule.

The changes may affect HCV participant's share of rent.

The data used to complete the updates are located on its website; at LMHA's Central Office, 435 Nebraska Avenue, Toledo, OH 43604 and at 211 S Byrne Road, Toledo, OH 43615. The proposed changes are available for review during business hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The data is available to review and comment for 45 days.

Please make comments on the space below and return to LMHA's Central Office, Attention: Chief Legal Officer, 435 Nebraska Avenue, Toledo, OH 43604, no later than Monday, November 27, 2017.
