Washington, DC Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code

For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Washington ranges from $1,640 (ZIP 20018) to $3,660 (ZIP 20003), with a median of $2,400 across 106 ZIP codes. Some ZIPs use HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents (set per ZIP) and others the metro Fair Market Rent.

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). In Washington see District of Columbia Housing Authority payment standards.
