How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 17720?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,217, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,095 to $1,339 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,080 it would be $972 to $1,188.

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