Rent Stratification is the methodology used in our State properties and structures base rents to maximize rental revenue. It allows for variable rents by income level according to the Area Median Income while continuing to provide affordable housing to all eligible income levels. Since there are no operating subsidies built into these programs, rent stratification is vital to the sustainability of these properties.
