Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs)

Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) are an important tool for increasing choice for voucher holders and efficiency in the administration of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. They are calculated at the ZIP code level, rather than a metropolitan area-wide Fair Market Rent. These payment standards more accurately reflect the local market.

Fair Market Rents / Payment Standards

In accordance with HUD regulations, OHFA has determined a payment standard between 90 percent and 110 percent of the Fair Market Rents (FMRs). FMRs regularly published by HUD, represent the cost to rent a moderately-priced dwelling unit in the local housing market. The housing voucher tenant must pay 30 percent of its monthly adjusted gross income for rent and utilities, and if the unit rent is greater than the payment standard, the tenant is required to pay the additional amount.
