How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 33949?

With the metro-wide two-bedroom FMR of $1,575, which applies unless the housing authority uses Small Area FMRs, that basic range is $1,418 to $1,733 a month; under the ZIP-level Small Area FMR of $1,580 it would be $1,422 to $1,738. 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.
