Questions about Douglas, AK rents
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in Douglas, AK?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,807, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,626 to $1,988 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,820 it would be $1,638 to $2,002.
