Does the Treasury Board directive that shelter charges cannot be more than 25 per cent of gross family income apply to CF members?
Yes, this rule applies, and is explained in the DND Accommodation Policy (DAOD 5024-0). A charge of up to 25% of gross household income for DND housing (excluding costs for parking, fuel and utilities) is considered affordable. Where the shelter charge exceeds 25% of gross household income the occupant may apply to CFHA to have the rent reduced to the 25% rate. Applications for rent reduction must be submitted annually and provide the necessary details to substantiate the gross household income level.
