Reply to comment by OctoberRust13 in 'Affordable' apartment complex proposed for parking lot on Washington St. in Federal Hill by cowperthwaite

I’d say that’s adorable if those prices include any utilities. I’d consider those fair prices for sure but affordable should range 1-200 less up to the prices you suggest

It depends. I'm from PA and work in affordable housing. Sometimes the developer will foot the entire utility bill but, most of the time it's the tenant paying into what's called a utility allowance which is a fixed amount.

The total of the tenant-paid rent and utility allowance has to fall under HUD's limits on the specific rents in a certain area.
