Chart Zip Code Voucher For Free

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.

HOME Rent LimitsThe rent does not exceed 30 percent of the annual income of a family whose income equals 50 percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for smaller and larger families.The rent does not exceed 30 percent of the family's adjusted income.

24 C.F.R. 982.4 defines Payment Standard as the maximum monthly assistance payment for a family assisted in the voucher program (before deducting the total tenant payment by the family).If the gross rent for the unit is higher than the payment standard, the family is responsible for the difference.

The payments cover some or all of the voucher holder's rent. On average, each household will pay somewhere between 30% and 40% of its income on rent.

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.

Typically, families pay up to 40% of their adjusted monthly income on rent, and the program takes care of the difference in rent costs with a subsidy paid to the landlord directly.

To qualify for Section 8 Housing, a tenant must make no more than 50 percent of the median income for the metro area to which they're applying. In areas of the country that have the highest income limits such as New York and San Francisco, that totals $117,400 for a family of four.
