As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve, DHCD would like to remind all local housing authorities (LHAs) of the procedures for lowering tenant rent due to a decrease in gross monthly income (either due to a decrease in income or an increase in deductions). We all ask that LHAs remind all affected tenants of these procedures. DHCD is cognizant that many hourly workers will lose income in March and possibly April, and want to remind residents of already existing steps they can take regarding their housing.
