9105. APPLYING UTILITY ALLOWANCES

9105 APPLYING UTILITY ALLOWANCES 9105.1 A DCHA-established utility allowance schedule is used in determining Family Share and HAP. DCHA shall use the appropriate utility for the lesser of the dwelling unit actually leased by a family or the voucher unit size for which the Family qualifies using DCHA subsidy standards. 9105.2 When utility schedules are updated to reflect rate changes, utility allowances (and UAPs) shall be adjusted only when HAP subsidies or TTPs are recalculated for other reasons. More specifically, updated utility schedules shall be applied when households: (1) face a contract rent change, (2) have their TTPs recalculated during interim or triennial recertifications, (3) move to new units, or (4) have a change in household composition requiring a change in voucher size.
