Questions about Auburn, PA rents
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in Auburn, PA?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,068, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $961 to $1,175 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,280 it would be $1,152 to $1,408.
