Operative Text

HUD HCV Guidebook § 7.3
A mixed family is eligible for prorated assistance. “Prorated assistance” means the family will receive only a
portion of the subsidy for which a fully eligible family would qualify. The proration is calculated 35 based on the
number of members who are citizens or have eligible immigration status and the total number of family
members.

This calculation is shown below.

STEPS                                                                          EXAMPLE
 Determine the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP), taking into                    HAP = $300
 consideration the income of all family members, for which the family
 would qualify regardless of the members’ eligibility status.

 Divide the number of eligible family members (citizens and those with 3 eligible family members
 eligible immigration status) by the total number of f a m i l y members
                                                                         ÷ 4 total family members
                                                                                .75 proration percentage
 Multiply the HAP calculated in Step 1 by the proration percentage        $300 x .75
 calculated in Step 2 to determine the prorated total HAP for the family.
                                                                          Prorated Total HAP =
                                                                          $225
