How much will Section 8 pay for rent in 93591?

HUD's FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rents for 93591 (Palmdale, CA), effective October 1, 2026, are $1,610 for a studio, $1,800 for 1 bedroom, $2,220 for 2 bedrooms, $2,820 for 3 bedrooms and $3,150 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 $1,998–$2,442 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 93591, effective August 21, 2026: $1,440 for a studio, $1,629 for 1 bedroom, $2,061 for 2 bedrooms, $2,646 for 3 bedrooms and $2,916 for 4 bedrooms. These are LACDA's own figures, from its schedule, and apply to vouchers it administers; other housing authorities set their own.
