By proposing to forgo enhanced voucher payments, Defendants propose to incur a substantial financial loss. The fifteen individual plaintiffs in this suit allege in their complaint that they pay between $159.00 and $550.00 per month in rent out of their own pockets, for a total of about $5,000 monthly or $60,000 annually. HUD has set the fair market rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Oakland much higher, at $1,176 per month. See Final Fair Market Rents for Fiscal Year 2011 for the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program, 75 Fed. Reg. 61254, 61263 (Oct. 4, 2010). See also 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(c)(1)(B); 24 C.F.R. §§ 888.113, 982.503. Fair market rent for fifteen one-bedroom apartments thus totals $17,640 monthly or $211,680 annually. Defendants would leave approximately $150,000 in annual rental income on the table by declining to enter the HAP contracts covering the plaintiffs in this case. The true figure at stake may be much greater because defendants would forgo enhanced voucher payments from all of the Park Village tenants under the program, not just the individual plaintiffs in this suit.
