<body>
<p>This final rule removes food from the calculation of In-Kind Support and Maintenance (ISM). Accordingly, we will&nbsp;calculate ISM based only on shelter expenses (i.e., costs associated with room, rent, mortgage payments, real property taxes, heating fuel, gas, electricity, water, sewerage, and garbage collection services). The changes simplify our policy and promote equity by not disadvantaging an already vulnerable population when they receive food assistance.</p>
