Questions about Newport, NH rents
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in Newport, NH?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,596, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,436 to $1,756 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,830 it would be $1,647 to $2,013.
