HUD Housing Programs: Tenants’ Rights (The Green Book): 4.2.8.3 Section 236 Rental Assistance Program
The Section 236 Rental Assistance Program (RAP) provides a deep subsidy for tenants whose income is determined to be too low to permit them to pay the approved rent within 30% of adjusted monthly income.180 The few tenants still in this program have their rents set in a manner similar to the Project-Based Section 8 program, i.e., rent is set at the highest of 30% of adjusted monthly income, 10% of monthly income, or the welfare rent.181 See infra
