How much will Section 8 pay for rent in 95811?
HUD's FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rents for 95811 (Sacramento, CA), effective October 1, 2026, are $1,850 for a studio, $1,910 for 1 bedroom, $2,340 for 2 bedrooms, $3,070 for 3 bedrooms and $3,540 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 $2,106–$2,574 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.
