Questions about ZIP 25712 rents
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 25712?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,006, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $905 to $1,107 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,030 it would be $927 to $1,133. The voucher pays the lower of the payment standard or the gross rent, minus the tenant's share, which is usually about 30% of adjusted monthly income. Confirm the local housing authority's current schedule before underwriting.
