Frequently asked questions
What does Section 8 pay per bedroom in Pennsylvania?
Section 8 is anchored to HUD's FY2026 Fair Market Rent. Select a county below for the 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4-bedroom figures, then expect the PHA's payment standard between 90% and 110% of each one.
Is the payment standard higher or lower than FMR in Pennsylvania?
It depends on your county's public housing authority. PHAs set payment standards anywhere from 90% to 110% of the county FMR, so the actual voucher amount can be up to 10% above or below the published figure.
