Utility Allowances

The King County Housing Authority provides a monthly utility allowance to the Housing Choice participant for participant-paid utilities. The allowance is based on an average utility rate for the area and is given in the form of a credit to the participant's total monthly rental payment. Any utility usage above the allowed average will be the participant's responsibility.
