The official schedule also lists larger unit sizes; see the source[1].

JH's table also shows the percentage of the Small Area FMR it uses for each ZIP code; see the source.

JH says increases in a ZIP code's payment standard apply at a family's next annual recertification or move, and decreases only affect new move-ins.

How landlords use this

It caps the subsidy, not your rent

The payment standard is the most the housing authority will count toward rent plus tenant-paid utilities. The rent still has to pass its rent-reasonableness review.

The 40% rule at move-in

For a new lease, if the gross rent is above the payment standard, the family's share can't be more than 40% of its monthly adjusted income.

Treat every applicant the same

Use the same written screening criteria for voucher holders as for everyone else. Many states and cities prohibit refusing renters because they pay with a voucher; check your local law.
