Financial Support is Based on Household Makeup
HASCO is responsible for distributing financial support, provided by the U.S. and local governments, to as many households as possible. The government provides a set amount of money each year.
People in the Senior and Disabled Program are required to pay 30% of their income for rent. Financial support from government programs covers the difference between what you pay and the actual rent for your apartment home.
This financial help is based on the number of people in your household, household income and other factors. HASCO is required to adjust the amount you pay when these factors change, ensuring that financial support is provided fairly for everyone we serve.
When you sign your lease for a HASCO home, you also accept responsibility for keeping HASCO updated on changes that effect your household’s needs.
10-Day Notification Rule
You must report any change in your household’s income and any change in household membership within 10 days of the change, in writing.
Download the form or forms you need from this page. You are required to provide documents related to the change in some cases (see each individual form).
Examples of changes you must report within 10 days are listed here.
The amount of rent you pay often changes when your income or household membership changes. HASCO will confirm your new rent amount in writing.
If you have any question about whether you must report something contact your Housing Specialist.
Advance Notification Rule
