How much will Section 8 pay for rent in 90260?

HUD's FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rents for 90260 (Lawndale, CA), effective October 1, 2026, are $2,080 for a studio, $2,330 for 1 bedroom, $2,870 for 2 bedrooms, $3,640 for 3 bedrooms and $4,070 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 $2,583–$3,157 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 90260, effective August 21, 2026: $1,800 for a studio, $2,016 for 1 bedroom, $2,511 for 2 bedrooms, $3,186 for 3 bedrooms and $3,546 for 4 bedrooms. These are LACDA's own figures, from its schedule, and apply to vouchers it administers; other housing authorities set their own.
