At rent scale. Another 6,600 tenants who receive some" form of public assistance • which includes a fixed amount for rent, and 1,800 tenants residitfg in public housing dwellings for rent is the other end of the scale, the maximum rents, will be calculated on the basked 25 per cent of income instead of the ' current 30 per cent. For example, under =the present scale, an individual _earning... $560,Ter month, would pay 30 per cent of his income, or $168 in rent. A person at this income level under the new scale will pay $143. If (he has any children, ther will be an .. additional reduction of $2 • for each child who is eligible for. family or youth allowance. At the bottom of the scale, this $2 reduction will apply until the $28 minimum rent is' reached. Under a rent geared -to -income scale, , the basic rent is :.determinecl... by __. ,the family income, not the size of. the -dwelling provided. The new scale recognizes the extra expense faced by • single .working, parents without a husband or wife at home by introducing ' a $900 income' exemption for personsm this category. This means that if a working mother is yearning. $3,500 per year, her rent will be based on an income of $2,600. She will also receive the $2 monthly rent reduction for each child. • • The $250 exemption no enjoyed by woinen who • supplement their husband's income by working, will be increased to $900 under the new scale. The allowances received by some 'tenants for the ,care of rdster ' children ' will not be calculated as family income and therefore will not ° have an influence on thejrent. OHC will, moreover, alio'' the $2 rent reduction for each foster child.
