Two-bedroom rent in nearby Hutchinson County ZIP codes
How much will Section 8 pay for a two-bedroom in ZIP 79007?
Housing authorities set voucher payment standards, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR.

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.
