A monthly average cost of the summer and winter adjustments were used for the electric and natural gas costs.
Note: Public Housing allowances are calculated similar to the method used by each utility provider. These allowances are not calculated by end use (like Section 8 HCV), but by total usage for each utility type. Utility providers' monthly charges are included in the calculations.
