Who provides the schedules used to determine utility allowances?

The local city council

The property owner

HUD or local PHAs

Utility allowance schedules are the official references used to estimate how much a tenant will spend on utilities when calculating rent for subsidized housing. They are provided by HUD or by local Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). HUD issues the national schedules and PHAs may adopt local versions, ensuring consistency and fairness across programs and units. Local city councils, individual property owners, or tenants’ associations do not establish these schedules.
