For the purposes of the AYBL program only AYBL Tenant Rent will be calculated as thirty percent (30%) of the AYBL participants adjusted Unearned Income and the total income of any other non-AYBL participant(s) in the household, if any. In the event that the amount calculated is less than zero dollars ($0), the rent charged will be zero dollars ($0).
At all Rewards Properties, DCHA will initially pay for all unit utilities. As a means of preparing AYBL Families for homeownership, over the course of an AYBL Family's Contract of Participation term, the AYBL Family payment of utilities will be phased according to a graduated schedule. The following is the graduated schedule of utility payment responsibility that will be applied:
AYBL Participation Year | DCHA | AYBL Family |
Year 1 | 100% | 0% |
Year 2 | 75% | 25% |
Year 3 | 50% | 50% |
Year 4 | 25% | 75% |
Year 5 | 0% | 100% |
DCHA will not provide a utility allowance for AYBL families.
An AYBL Family is not subject to an eviction proceeding for failure to pay utilities pursuant to this Section; however, failure to pay utilities is a violation of the Contract of Participation; as such, the AYBL Family is subject to termination from the AYBL program.
