ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
The Des Moines
Municipal Housing Agency (DMMHA) is required by HUD to establish payment
standards by bedroom size for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
program. Further, the Federal
regulations require that housing agencies review their payment standards
annually. The payment standard is used
to calculate the monthly housing assistance payment for a family under the
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program.
The range of possible payment standard amounts is based on HUD’s
published fair market rent (FMR) schedules.
The current
payment standards represent 96-109% of the FMRs and are within the HUD
guidelines (payment standards must be between 90% and 110% of the FMRs). The revised payment standards will represent
90-105% of the FMRs.
