She said that future rent covers up <br /> to 3 months in the future. <br /> Chair Price asked if the total average future rent payment is $1,953 per month or for three <br /> months. <br /> Corey Root said they are per month. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked what timeline the average payment would cover. <br /> Corey Root said this depends on how many months were needed in arrears. She said that <br /> these are average payments. <br /> Chair Price asked what the recipients were paying themselves. <br /> Corey Root said the payments are not just for rent. <br /> Chair Price said they could be for utilities. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked the timeframe that would be covered with the average <br /> payment. <br /> Corey Root said that it would depend on the amount of arrears and how far back they are <br /> paid. She said that everyone gets three months in the future, but some people have many months <br /> of arrears. <br /> Libbie Hough said payments can be as low at $186 and some people have $10,000 in <br /> arrears. <br /> Corey Root said they also pay arrears for people in subsidized housing, but they do not <br /> pay future. <br />
