Supplementing my earlier comments with proposed language in a format commonly used. As previously noted, to better align the proposal with existing code provisions in § 15.2-2201 and § 15.2-2305.1, which address local programs for affordable housing, two definitions need to be changed to recognize that housing burdens result from the combination of rent and utilities and that some rental agreements include utilities while others do not. Two alternative ways to achieve this friendly amendment are 1. Use the phrase “sum of rent and utilities” as follows: Change Line 20 either to: 20 "Affordable housing" means a dwelling for which the sum of rent and utilities is no greater than 30 percent of the total AND Change Line 30 to: 30 "Moderately priced housing" means housing for which the sum of rent and utilities is no more than 30 percent of the 2. ALTERNATIVELY use the language of other code sections “gross housing costs, including utilities” or similar language “gross housing costs, including rent and utilities” Change Line 20 to state: 20 "Affordable housing" means a dwelling for which the gross housing costs, including rent and utilities, are is no greater than 30 percent of the total AND Change Line 30 "Moderately priced housing" means housing for which the gross housing costs, including rent and utilities, are is no more than 30 percent of the

I strongly support the goals of HB1105. However, achieve them requires that the definitions of “Affordable housing” and “Moderately priced housing” be amended to base the measure of affordability on the "sum of rent and utility costs" or on "gross housing costs, including utilities" or "gross housing costs, including rent and utilities." Making these friendly amendments: • Would recognize that housing cost burdens result from the combination of rent and utility costs • Would align the proposal with other statutory definitions of “affordable housing” which define affordability as housing in which “the occupant pays no more than thirty percent of his gross income for gross housing costs, including utilities.” See § 15.2-2201 and § 15.2-2305.1, which address local programs for affordable housing. • Would avoid confusion from Inconsistent definitions of affordability. • Would address the fact that the some rental agreements include utilities in the rent, while others charge separately. • Would encourage landlords both to reduce rents and to improve energy efficiency in buildings. Appropriate amendments could be in either of two ways: 20 "Affordable housing" means a dwelling for which the sum of rent and utilities is no greater than 30 percent of the total 21 household income of a household earning 80 percent of the area median income and that is held 22 available for persons or families that have a household income no greater than 80 percent of the area 23 median income. and 30 "Moderately priced housing" means housing for which the sum of rent and utilities is no more than 30 percent of the 31 income of a tenant whose income is no greater than the area median income. OR (combining rent with the "gross housing cost" language in other sections) 20 "Affordable housing" means a dwelling for which the gross housing costs, including rent and utilities, are is no greater than 30 percent of the total 21 household income of a household earning 80 percent of the area median income and that is held 22 available for persons or families that have a household income no greater than 80 percent of the area 23 median income. and 30 "Moderately priced housing" means housing for which the gross housing costs, including rent and utilities, are is no more than 30 percent of the 31 income of a tenant whose income is no greater than the area median income.
