MN / Saint Paul

How much will Section 8 pay for rent in 55105?

HUD's FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rents for 55105 (Saint Paul, MN), effective October 1, 2026, are $1,210 for a studio, $1,370 for 1 bedroom, $1,660 for 2 bedrooms, $2,170 for 3 bedrooms and $2,430 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 $1,494–$1,826 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.
