HACSB Payment Standards 2026–27
Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) runs the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program for San Bernardino 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. HACSB is a HUD Moving to Work (MTW) agency, so it can use MTW flexibility to set payment standards outside that usual range. Below are HUD's FY2027 (effective Oct 1, 2026) figures for the 114 ZIP codes in its area, the benchmark HACSB's schedule is built from. Its schedule uses local payment standards for most vouchers and HUD-based standards for special-purpose programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HACSB payment standard?
A payment standard is the maximum monthly amount HACSB uses to calculate a voucher's housing assistance for a given unit size. HACSB 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. HACSB is a HUD Moving to Work (MTW) agency, so it can use MTW flexibility to set payment standards outside that usual range.
Why might HACSB'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. HACSB 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. As a Moving to Work agency, HACSB may also use local payment standards that differ from the basic range. Always use HACSB's own published schedule for your actual voucher amount.
Where can I find HACSB's official payment standard schedule?
HACSB publishes its schedule on its website: HACSB payment standards schedule (PDF). 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 HACSB'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 HACSB's schedule for the ZIP of the unit, not where you live now.
