Subject: 1994 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

Fiscal Year 1994 subsidy fund reservations for Capital Advance

applications under the subject programs.

These standards have been updated using the National

Consumer Price Index (CPI) of housing changes for 1993. 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 5.2%; Buffalo 10.9%;

Chicago 2.1%; Honolulu 25.3%; Los Angeles 9.2%; Milwaukee 1.6%;

Newark 14.3%; New York 14.3%; Philadelphia 10.7% Portland 2.5%;

San Diego 8.3%; San Francisco 8%; Seattle 2.3%; and

Washington, DC 6.8%.

To determine the total amount of an annual PRAC, multiply

the Operating Cost Standard by the number of residential spaces

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

either an independent living facility or an elderly project. For

the 14 cities listed above, the result thus obtained would be

multiplied by part or all of the additional percentage, as

needed.
