the check residents expect to
receive and then it gets gar-
nished. We can’t lower the
rent based on garnishments,”
Utz said.
“Everyone has a differ-
ent situation, but a lot of it
comes down to budgeting
and learning how to budget,”
White said (see related story
Page A3).
Kathleen Ashley, of Mak-
ing Homes Happen, Inc., said
property managers can of-
fer partial payment and late
payment agreements, but
residents will frequently wait
until eviction is imminent
before approaching property
managers.
“Once they have the letter
saying that eviction is com-
ing, they can then approach
community groups and other
services that might help them
cover the rent,” Ashley said.
Utz said property manag-
ers try to avoid creating more
debt history for low-income
residents, but White said the
situation can quickly snow-
ball.
“If they get behind 30
days, it very quickly can be-
come 60 days. We’re trying in
that fi rst 30 days to help them
get on top of the rent they are
behind,” White said. “As long
as they can complete a pay-
ment plan we will continue
to work with them. It shows
good faith on their part.”
Ashley said that working
with residents’ case manag-
ers can also help ease tensions
when problems arise, but get-
ting that permission can be a
sticky wicket.
Complicating matters fur-
ther is a more general hous-
ing shortage. The echoes of
the Great Recession kept
rents low for several years,
and now that property own-
ers can raise rents, it’s creating
even more of a pinch on low-
income housing availability.
“We went a long time
without raising rents. Now
that we are able to do that to
meet costs, it’s having a nega-
tive impact on tenants,” Ash-
ley said.
Miles said that some ten-
ants are seeing their rents
rise as often as twice a year.
It prompts them to look for
other options, but decide to
stay once they realize how
much other spaces are going
for.
