SARANAC LAKE - The Harrietstown Housing Authority is now accepting preliminary applications for residency in the new apartment building on Riverside Drive.
An official of the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) said the maximum income for residents will be approximately $4,400 for single persons and 5,300 for couples. This figure may be changed slightly when HUD receives some information it is expecting from the Harrietstown group.
The HUD formula for setting senior citizens rents is: take ten per cent off the annual income and charge 25 per cent of the balance. Thus, an individual with an income of $4,400 would subtract $440 and pay 25 per cent of the balance of $3,960, or $990 annual rent. It appears that, in approximate figures, the maximum an individual would pay is $82 a month and for a couple, $100.
Ray Patnode, executive director of the Harrietstown Housing Authority, says the minimum age requirement is 62. Applications that are received now will be reviewed by the town housing board. Those eligible will be sent a final application, and arrangements will be made for an interview.
