	Letter to The Honorable Alphonso Jackson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development - May 23, 2005
		Housing providers will be authorized to provide shallower subsidies with tenants having to pay anywhere from 41% to 99% of their income for rent.
		Currently, public housing tenants are permitted to deduct extraordinary medical expenses from their income before calculating the 30% - 40% of their income required for rent.
		Like the voucher proposal, public housing agencies will not be bound by federal rent protections that cap rents at 30% of income, but instead will be permitted to establish minimum rents at any level.
