Payment standards are used to calculate the housing assistance payment that the Housing Authority pays to a property owner/landlord on behalf of a household leasing a unit under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. Each Public Housing Authority (PHA) has latitude in establishing its schedule of payment standard amounts by bedroom size, within the range of 90% to 110% of HUD’s published fair market rent (FMR) for the area in which the PHA has jurisdiction.
