PAYMENT STANDARDS
In the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, Payment Standards establish the maximum subsidy the Housing Authority can provide toward a family's rent.However, they do not determine the actual rent amounts for leased units.As defined by 24 C.F.R. 982.4, the Payment Standard represents maximum monthly support amount a family in the voucher program can receive before accounting forthe family's own rent contribution.
Payment Standards act as a cap on the rental subsidy provided by the Housing Authority and are integral to calculating the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) made to landlords on behalf of participating families. These standards are established toensure families have access to diverse rental options within the community, fosteringchoice and flexibility.
When Payment Standards are adjusted, changes are implemented thoughtfully. If a Payment Standard decreases, the reducedamount typically takes effect starting with a family’s second regular reexamination after the reduction. This approach ensures adequate notice to families and landlords, minimizing potential disruptions.
Determining Housing Assistance Payments involves several factors beyond Payment Standards including tenant affordability, utility allowances, and comparisons with similar units in the area. This comprehensive approachensures theassistancealigns with actual housing costs, providingfair and practical support to eligible families.
