The Housing Authority furnishes your water, sewer, and trash collection. You are responsible for setting up your own electric and gas service.
There is a security deposit of $200.00 payable to the Housing Authority at the time of leasing.
Pets are allowed at HABG properties with the required deposit and fee paid in full before bringing your pet onto HABG property.
| Security Deposit | $200.00 |
| Pet Fee | $150.00 |

Your rent is based upon 30% of your adjusted gross income. Each household receives a utility allowance which is deducted from your rent amount.
This means your rent is calculated based on what your household earns — not a flat rate. The utility allowance helps offset the cost of utilities you are responsible for (electric and gas).
