KH uses income information to calculate your portion of rent. During recertifications, KH determines your continued eligibility to receive housing assistance and recalculates your portion of the rent. Depending on the program, if your income increases or your rent exceeds KH’s contribution towards the monthly rent, your portion of rent may increase.
