NEWPORT NEWS REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING AUTHORITY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 9, 2025
To: Board of Commissioners
FROM: Lysandra M. Shaw fms
Executive Director
SUBJECT: Public Housing Flat Rents — Agency Plan Amendment
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations require Housing
Authorities to develop a flat rent schedule for each public housing complex. The flat rent
is based on the market rent charged for comparable units in the private, unassisted rental
market. These schedules are a component of our Agency Plan.
An Authority may set their flat rents no lower than 80% of the fair market rent (FMR) in
their metropolitan area. Families’ rents will change at their next income re-examination.
Families still have the option of selecting the income Based rent, which may be lower.
We currently have four of the 799 families in public housing paying the Flat Rent. The
proposed Flat Rent Schedule is attached.
To address hardships by any increased rent, | have asked staff to continue to phase in
the flat rent increase by $50 quarterly until the new amount is achieved.
The attached resolution is recommended for approval.
