Have Section 8 allowables been cut in New Britain?

[Karen F.]

I currently have a few apartments available in multifamily buildings in New Britain.  I've had a couple of Section 8 applicants who are telling me that the amounts the housing authority is allowing are much lower (15 -20% lower) than what I am currently being paid by Sec 8 for other identical units.  Of course, I will not contract with them for such rates - I can rent it on the open market for much more.

Has anyone seen that the housing authority has cut what it will allow for a unit in New Britain or surrounding areas?
