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 NY016's remaining units that averages $1,168 a month, against a weighted PBV cap of $1,191 (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. 1 of NY016's 3 projects are already at or above the PBV cap.
| Project | Units | 2026 RAD rent | PBV cap | PBRA cap | 60/40 blend | Rent check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saratoga Apts. NY016000005 | 267 | $1,255 | $1,336 | $1,458 | $1,351 | Debt |
| North Shore Towers NY016000002 | 224 | $980 | $930 | $1,015 | $988 | Debt |
| Carlisle Hill NY016000001 | 150 | $1,295 | $1,321 | $1,441 | $1,355 | Debt |
