This question should cover everything about payment standards for all Housing Authorities. To get specific answers about what the payments standards are for a specific bedroom size, call you local Housing Authority.
Payment Standards (PST) are the amount that the Public Housing Authority (PHA) will pay up to in Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) on behalf of the family. Under federal regulations every PHA must set a payment standard that is between 90 and 110 percent of the Fair Market Rent (FMR) of the dwelling mentioned, according to the bedroom size for that dwelling.
Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) equals Payment Standard (PST) minus Total Tenant Payment (TTP).
One-third of the family's adjusted monthly income is known as the Total Tenant Payment, or TTP, which is the highest amount of money the family will be obliged to pay, minus the standard utility allowance that is calculated by the PHA. If your rent includes all utilities, than this is the amount you pay our of your pocket. Otherwise, for any essential utilities it doesn't include (such as electric and fuel for heating and cooling), the HA will calculate a utility allowance that it deducts from your TTP, wherein you pay the difference.
