WorkshopFees

A modest materials fee must be paid by attendees at our Project Repair workshops.

The fees are based on a sliding scale, depending on household income (see chart below). Additional discounts are given if you purchase a "punch card" for several classes.

Number of classes	Above-Moderate Income	Low-Moderate Income	Low Income	Very Low Income
1	$10	$8	$5	$0
5	$30	$20	$10	$0
10	$50	$20	$20	$0
20	$80	$50	$35	$0

Fees may be paid by cash or check, and may be purchased in person at our office or through the mail. You can pay the fee when you come to a class - but, we really urge you to buy your "punch cards' in advance. "Punch cards" cannot be purchased at workshops held on site away from our Teaching Center; you will have to pay the single-class rate or use a "punch card' you purchased previously.

Each "punch card" is a wallet-size card good for a specific number of classes. When you buy one, the card will be personalized in your name, but it can be used for other family members who live at the same address. You simply bring the card with you to the workshops of your choice, and we’ll punch it to mark each attendance. When you have used up the number of classes you have paid for, throw away that card and purchase a new one.

We use the same categories that are on the Income Form you fill out each year (based on guidelines we receive from HUD each spring). You simply add up the gross income, from all sources, that will be coming into your household in the next year. Currently, the guidelines are as follows:

Family Size	Above-Moderate Income	Low-Moderate Income	Low Income	Very Low Income
1	above $35,200	$22,000 - $35,200	$13,200 - $22,000	less than $13,200
