Participants Os Program To Receive More The majority of 3,500 Housing Allowance Program participants will be receiving as much as SIS more when their monthly allowance checks arrive next week. The increase in benefits came after it was determined that the cost of housing in St. Joseph County has increased over the last two years, particularly the cost of lights, heat and water. At the same time, hundreds of households, previously found ineligible because their incomes were slightly too high, may become eligible if they reapply for the assistance. Charles F. Lennon, Jr., Director of the Housing Allowance Office, Inc. (HAO), announced the increase in benefits and the raising of the program’s income ceilings. Approval of the increases came from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). “Immediate impact of this will be to increase the amount of our payments which will put $42,000 per month more into the local economy, or $504,000 annually,” said Lennon. The increases, which are particularly important to elderly residents living on fixed incomes, were based on research by The Rand Corporation, which is in charge of the experiment here. Thomas W. Weeks, Manager of the Rand Site Office in South Bend, said today that Rand research has shown that the cost of all utilities and other shelter costs has increased by between $lO and sl7 per household. These increases have occured over a two-year period, and they represent “background” inflation

— that is, according to Weeks, higher housing costs that have not been caused by the experimental program itself. “The experiment was designed to be in tune with the actual costs of adequate, modest, existing housing in St. Joseph County,’’ Weeks said. “To be a fair test of the concept, the program must remain in tune with background inflation. “So far. there is no indication that the program itself has had any significant inflationary impact.” New income ceilings could mean a flurry of applications from former applicants who had been found ineligible only by a narrow income margin. The income ceilings are going up by S7OO or SBOO annually, depending on the number of persons in the household. The Housing Allowance Program essentially makes up the difference between a fourth of a household’s income and the standard cost of adequate housing for a family of that size.
