Affix Zip Code Voucher For Free

Voucher Payment Standards The Section 8 Voucher Payment Standard is the most the Housing Authority can pay to help a family with rent. The family's voucher will show the number of bedrooms authorized by the Housing Authority, based on the number of persons in the family.

Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies (PHAs).A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the PHA on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program.

The Payment Standard includes a Utility Allowance component of $ 50. So, if an apartment includes utilities, the rent would have to be below $710 to be within the Payment Standard.

In the median rent method, HUD determines the exception payment standard amount by multiplying the FMR times a fraction of which the numerator is the median gross rent of the exception area and the denominator is the median gross rent of the entire FMR area.

To be eligible you must pass our screening criteria, which includes a criminal background check. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and fall within the income guidelines set for the program. Please be aware that HOC is only able to assist families depending on available funding.
