2026–27 Section 8 Rent Limits for 01056

Ludlow, MA • Hampden County • Source: SAFMR

How much will Section 8 pay for rent in 01056?

HUD's FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rents for 01056 (Ludlow, MA), effective October 1, 2026, are $1,260 for a studio, $1,420 for 1 bedroom, $1,800 for 2 bedrooms, $2,240 for 3 bedrooms and $2,370 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 $1,620–$1,980 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.
