THE METER’S RUNNING ON YOUR
UTILITY ALLOWANCES...

There’s a good chance your utility allowances are costing you too
much. The DPC Utility Allowance Program gives you an option that
could lower these costs and improve your operating income.
DPC has worked with housing finance agencies, local utility provid-
ers, and tax credit properties in multiple states across the country.
Give us a call and find out if you’re spending more than you should
and if our program is right for you.
It’s easy to understand,

It meets LIHTC compliance guidelines,

It doesn’t cost anything to find out if you can

save money, and…

Tax credit properties that choose DPC invest a

fraction of what they save to put the program in place.
