Griffin Apartments - Decrease in Utility Allowance 2 & 3 BR

June 11, 2025

Dear Resident:

Take notice that on 7/11/2025, we plan to submit a request for approval of an increase in the maximum permissible rents for Griffin Apartments, to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD].  The proposed increase is needed for the following reasons:

   DECREASE IN UTILITY ALLOWANCE

The rent increases for which we have requested approval are:

A copy of the materials that we are submitting to HUD in support of our request will be available during normal business hours at 501 McDaniel Street for a period of 30 days from the date of service of this notice for inspection and copying by tenants of Griffin Apartments. And, if the tenants wish, by legal or other representatives acting for them individually or as a group.

During a period of 30 days from the date of this notice, tenants of Griffin Apartments may submit written comments on the proposed rent increase to us at 501 McDaniel Street Fairmont, NC 28340(office).  Tenant representatives may assist tenants in preparing those comments. (If, at HUD's request or otherwise, we make any material change during the comment period in the materials available for inspection and copying, we will notify the tenants of the change or changes, and the tenants will have a period of 15 days from the date of service of this additional notice (or the remainder of any applicable period, if longer) in which to inspect and copy the materials as changed and to submit comments on the proposed rent increase).  These comments will be transmitted to HUD, along with our evaluation of them and our request of the increase.          

HUD will approve, adjust upward or downward, or disapprove the proposed rent increase upon reviewing the request and comments.  When HUD advises us in writing of its decision, you will be notified.  Any increases will be put into effect only after a period of at least 30 days from the date you are served with that notice and in accordance with the terms of existing leases.

Sincerely,

Fairmont Housing Authority
