LACDA Payment Standards 2026–27

Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) runs the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program for Los Angeles County. It sets its own payment standards — the most it will pay toward rent for each unit size — and federal rules normally require those to fall between 90% and 110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the area (the metro-wide FMR, or ZIP-level Small Area FMRs where the authority uses them) unless HUD approves an exception. Below are HUD's FY2027 (effective Oct 1, 2026) figures for the 354 ZIP codes in its area, the benchmark LACDA's schedule is built from. The figures below exclude the cities of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which have their own housing authorities (HACLA and HACLB). Some other cities in the county also run their own programs, so confirm which authority serves the address. LACDA's own published payment standards, effective August 21, 2026, are listed ZIP by ZIP below.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the LACDA payment standard?

LACDA's published 2-bedroom payment standards, effective August 21, 2026, range from $1,170 to $3,915 across 292 ZIP codes (source: LACDA Payment Standard Schedule, effective August 21, 2026 (PDF)). A payment standard is the maximum monthly amount LACDA uses to calculate a voucher's housing assistance for a given unit size. LACDA chooses its payment standards, and HUD rules (24 CFR 982.503) normally require them to fall between 90% and 110% of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the area (the metro-wide FMR, or ZIP-level Small Area FMRs where the authority uses them) — the "basic range". An authority can go above 110% only with an exception payment standard approved by HUD or allowed by HUD notice.

What are LACDA's utility allowances for 2026?

LACDA's current utility allowances took effect on July 1, 2026 (source: Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) utility allowance schedule (PDF, effective July 1, 2026)). For a 2-bedroom, the allowance for a single utility ranges from $8 to $107 a month. Add the allowance for each utility you pay yourself. The total is added to the contract rent, and that gross rent is what is compared with the payment standard, so a unit with tenant-paid utilities needs a lower rent to fit.

Why might LACDA's published amounts differ from the HUD figures on this page?

The figures here are HUD's FY2027 (effective Oct 1, 2026) Small Area FMRs. LACDA sets its own amounts as a percentage of these (anywhere in the 90–110% basic range), and it adopts new amounts on its own schedule. When new HUD figures would put its payment standards outside the basic range, HUD rules require the authority to revise them within three months of the new figures taking effect. Always use LACDA's own published schedule for your actual voucher amount.

Where can I find LACDA's official payment standard schedule?

LACDA publishes its schedule on its website: LACDA Payment Standard Schedule (PDF, effective August 21, 2026). If you have a voucher, your briefing packet or caseworker can also confirm the amount for your unit size and ZIP code.

Does a higher payment standard mean the voucher pays more of my rent?

It raises the ceiling. The housing assistance payment is the lower of the payment standard or the unit's gross rent (rent plus tenant-paid utilities), minus your total tenant payment — usually about 30% of adjusted monthly income (24 CFR 982.505). If a unit's gross rent is above the payment standard, you pay the difference, and at initial lease-up your share can't exceed 40% of adjusted monthly income.

Why do the amounts change by ZIP code?

HUD publishes Small Area FMRs for each ZIP code in LACDA's area rather than one figure for the whole metro area. Some authorities are required to use them and others may choose to; where an authority uses them, its payment standards vary by ZIP too, so higher-rent neighborhoods get higher ceilings. Check LACDA's schedule for the ZIP of the unit, not where you live now.
