HCV CASE FLOW · STEP 2 OF 5 · BRIEFING & PAYMENT STANDARDS
What can a voucher pay here?
Brief a family or sanity-check your schedule. Type a ZIP to see HUD's published Small Area Fair Market Rents for every bedroom size with the 90%–110% basic range your board can adopt — then the authorities themselves, with their actual published payment-standard documents.
Results appear as you type. Nothing you type is stored.
SAFMR figures are HUD-published Small Area Fair Market Rents; the 90%–110% basic range is set by federal rule (24 CFR 982.503) and each authority adopts its exact standard inside (or, with HUD approval, outside) that range — always confirm against the authority's own published schedule, linked where we have it. Directory coverage: … housing authorities on file. If a ZIP is not in the SAFMR file, we say so rather than estimating.
