Sunnyvale, CA Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code

For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Sunnyvale ranges from $3,270 (ZIP 94088) to $4,020 (ZIP 94085), with a median of $3,770 across 5 ZIP codes. HUD sets these per ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rents), so they differ across the city.

These are HUD's figures, effective 2026-10-01. A housing authority sets its own payment standard, normally between 90% and 110% of them (higher with HUD approval or as a disability accommodation). The voucher then pays the lower of that standard or the gross rent, minus your total tenant payment (generally 30% of adjusted monthly income).
