Questions about South Hill, VA rents
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in South Hill, VA?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the county-wide two-bedroom FMR of $943, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $849 to $1,037 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,130 it would be $1,017 to $1,243.

Confirm the local housing authority's current schedule before underwriting.
