Payment Standards and Fair Market Rents
The Payment Standard is the maximum monthly amount of assistance a family can receive in the Housing Choice Voucher program and is based on the region's fair market rent and funding from HUD.
How much is the rent?
Take a look at the charts below to see what the market rate is for different types of apartments and what portion of the rent SCCHA can pay. We update these charts once a year. Fair Market Rents (FMRs) help determine the value of rental units by bedroom size and amenities within geographic locations. FMRs are set annually by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under some Housing programs, tenants may also receive allowances for utility costs.
