CA / Encino

How much will Section 8 pay for rent in 91316?

HUD's FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rents for 91316 (Encino, CA), effective October 1, 2026, are $2,650 for a studio, $2,960 for 1 bedroom, $3,650 for 2 bedrooms, $4,630 for 3 bedrooms and $5,180 for 4 bedrooms a month. These are gross rents: rent plus any utilities the tenant pays.

Your housing authority turns these into its payment standard — the most the voucher counts toward rent — normally between 90% and 110% of HUD's figure, so about $3,285–$4,015 for a 2-bedroom here. Moving to Work agencies can set theirs outside that range. You usually pay about 30% of your adjusted income plus any amount the gross rent is above the payment standard, and at move-in your share can't exceed 40% of adjusted monthly income. Confirm the amount with your housing authority.

LACDA's published payment standards for 91316, effective August 21, 2026: $2,052 for a studio, $2,295 for 1 bedroom, $2,862 for 2 bedrooms, $3,627 for 3 bedrooms and $4,041 for 4 bedrooms. These are LACDA's own figures, from its schedule, and apply to vouchers it administers; other housing authorities set their own.
