Subject: 1992 Annual Operating Cost Standards :

Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly and

Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with

Disabilities

Attached are the Operating Cost Standards which field office

staff should use for calculating the annual per person/per unit

amount of a Project Rental Assistance Contract (PRAC) when making

FY 92 subsidy fund reservations for capital advance applications

under the subject programs.

Originally developed for use with the Section 162 program,

Housing for the Handicapped, experience reflects that Operating

Cost Standards serve as an accurate measure for reserving PRAC

funds in both the Section 202 and 811 Supportive Housing

programs. These Standards have been updated using the National

Consumer Price Index (CPI) of housing changes for 1991. Each

field office should adjust these Standards downward to

accommodate any lower cost area within its jurisdiction when

locally developed cost data so indicate.

Historically, some areas significantly exceed the national

CPI average. To assure that those areas are not precluded from

program participation, each field office noted below is

authorized to adjust its annual Operating Cost Standard by up to

the additional percentage shown: Boston 5.46%; Buffalo 4.34%;

Chicago 2.1%; Cincinnati 4.86%; Honolulu 14.37%;

Los Angeles 8.45%; Newark 9.05%; New York 9.05%;

Philadelphia 8.98%; San Diego 7.85%; San Francisco 6.81%; and

Washington, D.C. 5.38%.

To determine the total amount of an annual PRAC, multiply the

Operating Cost Standard by the number of disabled residents in a

group home or by the number of revenue-producing units in either an

independent living facility or an elderly project. For the 12

cities listed above, the result thus obtained would be multiplied by

the part or all of the additional percentage.

at (202) 708-3287.
