This preliminary check is not an eligibility decision. Confirm rules with the administering agency.
Public Housing developments are administered by local Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). Income limits, annual admission targeting, local preferences, rent calculations, and application procedures vary under federal rules and local PHA policies. Use HUD's PHA directory to identify and confirm the agency responsible for a development. Any HUD-reported wait-time figure on a property page is a historical average among admissions, not a current wait estimate.

HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMR) are rental benchmarks used in housing programs; they do not set each voucher household's payment standard across Massachusetts (MA). Across 21 HUD FMR areas and 131 listed communities in Massachusetts (992 LIHTC tax credit, 721 Project-Based Section 8, 356 Section 202 senior, 118 USDA Rural Development), the property-location-weighted Fair Market Rent summary is $2,374/month for a 1-bedroom and $2,863/month for a 2-bedroom. Local Public Housing Agencies set their own voucher payment standards. The 90%–110% figures below are illustrative calculations from FMR, not guaranteed or official local payment standards.

Methodology: Fair Market Rent benchmarks are summarized from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMR), HUD income limits by their latest available fiscal year, and U.S. Census ACS 5-year ZIP-code estimates across represented property locations in Massachusetts. The local dataset does not record an FMR year. Local Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) establish their own payment standards; the 90%–110% figures are illustrative calculations only.
