Marked years use a different HUD benchmark than FY 2027, so they are not a like-for-like change.
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 28370?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR. With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,223, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,101 to $1,345 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,230 it would be $1,107 to $1,353. 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.
