## Abstract

The United States Housing Act of 1937 requires that the assistance contracts signed by owners participating in the Department's Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments programs provide for annual or more frequent adjustment in the maximum monthly rentals for units covered by the contract to reflect changes based on fair market rents prevailing in a particular market area, or on a reasonable formula. This document announces revised Annual Adjustment Factors (AAFs) for assistance contract anniversaries from October 1, 1995. The factors are based on a formula using data on residential rent and utilities cost changes from the most current Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the HUD Random Digit Dialing (RDD) rent change surveys.
