How much will Section 8 pay for rent in 91342?

HUD's FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rents for 91342 (Sylmar, CA), effective October 1, 2026, are $2,080 for a studio, $2,320 for 1 bedroom, $2,860 for 2 bedrooms, $3,630 for 3 bedrooms and $4,060 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 $2,574–$3,146 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 91342, effective August 21, 2026: $1,755 for a studio, $1,962 for 1 bedroom, $2,448 for 2 bedrooms, $3,105 for 3 bedrooms and $3,456 for 4 bedrooms. These are LACDA's own figures, from its schedule, and apply to vouchers it administers; other housing authorities set their own.
