§ 11395. Occupancy charge

Each eligible person who resides in a facility assisted under this part shall pay an occupancy charge in an amount determined by the recipient, but not to exceed the amount determined under section 1437a (a) of this title. The occupancy charge may be phased in or reduced based on the type of living accommodations provided. The recipient may waive occupancy charges for limited periods of time for residents unwilling or unable to pay them. Occupancy charges paid may be reserved to assist residents in moving to a more traditional form of permanent housing.
