In response to the Trump administration’s proposals to raise rents for HUD-assisted households, the New York Housing Conference (NYHC) has developed the #TrumpRentHike Calculator, an advocacy tool to help impacted families speak out against rent increases. The tool allows families receiving HUD housing assistance to calculate their rent increases and to share the results on social media. The administration’s proposal would raise rents for HUD-assisted tenants from 30% of adjusted income to 35% of gross income and eliminate childcare, medical expenses, and other deductions. NYHC reports that rents across the nation will increase by $1,280 per year on average.
