Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $945, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $851 to $1,040 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $930 it would be $837 to $1,023.
