Total Tenant Payment less the Utility Allowance (24 CFR § 5.603).
83. Total Tenant Payment (TTP) – The TTP, or income-based rent, is calculated using the following formula:
a. The greatest of 30% of the monthly Adjusted Income (as defined in these policies) or
b. 10% of the monthly Annual Income (as defined in these policies), or the Welfare Rent if
applicable, but never less than the Minimum Rent or greater than the Ceiling Rent, if any.
c. If the Resident pays any of the utilities directly to the utility supplier, the amount of the Utility
Allowance is deducted from the TTP. (24 CFR §5.613) See the definition for Tenant Rent.
84. Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards – Standards for the design, construction, and alteration of publicly
owned residential structures to insure that physically disability persons will have ready access to and use of
such structures. The standards are set forth in Appendix A to 24 CFR Part 40. See cross reference to UFAS in 504
regulations, 24 CFR § 8.32 (a).
85. Utilities – Water , electricity, gas, other heating, refrigeration and cooking fuels, trash collection, and
sewerage services. Telephone service is not included as a utility (24 CFR § 965.473).

in the Tenant Rent but is the responsibility of the family, an amount equal to the estimate made, as approved
by the Authority or HUD, of the monthly costs of a reasonable consumption of such utilities for the unit,
consistent with the requirements of a safe, sanitary and healthful living environment.
87. Utility Reimbursement [24 CFR § 5.615] – The amount, if any, by which the utility allowance for the unit, if applicable,
exceeds the TTP for the Family occupying the unit. When the Utility Allowance exceeds the family’s TTP, the negative
amount in excess of $6.00 will be refunded to resident through a check each month. If resident has any other
outstanding charges the negative balance will be applied to the charges. A negative amount less than $6.00 a month
will be credited to the resident account and will continue to accumulate until off set by charges or resident requests a
reimbursement payment be made through a manual refund.
