Revised CHA Rent Schedule Delayed to August 2
The Charleston Housing Authority voted to prepare a revised public housing rent schedule for August. The schedule would set a new minimum rent for all tenants, affecting welfare cases and non welfare tenants. A raise could yield about $16,000 for the CHA, while a lower rent might cause a $30,000 loss. The plan bases rents on bedroom size as discussed by Executive Director Russell Morena.
