Income Limits, Payment Standards, Utility Allowances
BHA payment standards are based on the current fair market rents (FMR’s) published by HUD. Payment standards must be set between 90-110% of the published FMR. BHA reviews the payments standards yearly to ensure we are meeting the needs of the families receiving subsidies as well as bringing new families on the program. Payment standards are normally adjusted October 1st of any given year.
HCV Payment Standards Effective January 2025
