How much Section 8 can pay by bedroom size in Virginia
Your voucher pays the lower of the gross rent and your agency’s payment standard, minus your total tenant payment; the standard is the one for the smaller of your voucher size and the unit’s bedrooms. Standards are normally set at 90% to 110% of HUD’s published fair market rent for the area. Virginia’s FY2027 two-bedroom fair market rent runs from $943 in Alleghany County-Clifton Forge city-Covington city, VA and 20 other areas to $2,438 in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD; three bedrooms, $1,124 in Dickenson County, VA to $3,107 in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD.
