For low-income households, the greater of:

	30 percent of monthly "adjusted income";
	10 percent of monthly "annual (gross) income"; or
	Welfare rent (which applies only to welfare recipients in as-paid localities). For households above the low-income limit, 30 percent of monthly "adjusted income"

Among other assistance, displaced renter households are entitled to replacement housing payments. In concept, the replacement housing payments are intended to make up the difference between the family's old base monthly rent and the amount the family must pay for housing at its new location.
