Small Area Fair Market Rents

In the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, payment standards are used in the calculation of Housing Assistance Payments (HAPs) that the PHA pays to the owner on behalf of the family leasing the unit. Payment standards are the maximum monthly assistance that the PHA will pay on behalf of the family.

The payment standard for a family is the lower of:

Payment standard for the family’s unit size indicated on the voucher; or
Payment standard for the size of the unit leased by the family.

Additional factors that influence the Housing Assistance Payment to the owner include the family's size and income, utilities the family is responsible for, and the cost of comparable units in the area.

Miami-Dade Housing Choice Voucher Program has been designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as a SAFMR PHA and, in accordance with 24 CFR 982.503, is required to implement SAFMR-based payment standards no later than January 1, 2025. SAFMRs are FMRs calculated at the ZIP code level, rather than for the entire metropolitan area. SAFMRs are intended to more accurately reflect the local market and provide families with access to low-poverty and high-opportunity areas by providing rental assistance at a level that makes the higher rents in such areas affordable for them.

For areas where the SAFMR represents an increase in payment standards, Miami-Dade Housing Choice Voucher Program has determined the SAFMR amount has significantly changed from the current payment standard amount.

For areas where the SAFMR represents a decrease in payment standards:

The payment standards will remain at their current level until the SAFMR standards meet the current amount. HAP may be adjusted based on changes in family household or income.

The PHA’s current ZIP code schedule is included below:

Miami-Dade Housing Choice Voucher Program's SAFMR payment standard schedule by ZIP code effective January 1st 2025 is:
