Still public housing: 2026 RAD rents
HUD's rents tool sets a 2026 RAD contract rent for each unconverted project from its 2024 public housing funding, inflated by the 2025 and 2026 OCAF. Across GA007's remaining units that averages $915 a month, against a weighted PBV cap of $1,722 (110% of fair market rent, before the utility allowance). Where the RAD rent is below the cap, a Section 18 blend can raise the rent and the debt it carries.
| Project | Units | 2026 RAD rent | PBV cap | PBRA cap | 60/40 blend | Rent check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bobby Jones/ Shakespeare GA007000007 | 280 | $915 | $1,722 | $1,879 | $1,344 | Debt |
Rents are monthly per unit, weighted across each project's bedroom mix. The caps are shown before HUD's estimated utility allowance. HUD calls the blend figures estimates. Project names are as reported to HUD.
