Payment Standards and Rental Submarkets
For the regular voucher programs (also referred to as Moving to Work programs), and VASH leases executed January 2021 or later, follow the steps below to determine the submarket of your unit and payment standard.
For special programs such as HOPWA and Mainstream 5, the Special Purpose Voucher Programs payment standards are used. The Continuum of Care (CoC) program utilizes Region B payment standards regardless of the location of the unit. VASH leases executed prior to January 2021 also use the Special Purpose Voucher Programs payment standards. Click here to access the Special Purpose Voucher Programs payment standards.

Fraud Alerts
Through the years, we have learned of several fraud scams against program participants and landlords. Be vigilant and protect your assets. Please note, landlord participation in the program is free! This includes all briefing materials, paperwork, and workshops. Any personal account information is obtained through official forms. Never give your personal information over the phone.
Requesting a Rent Increase
Things to consider before submitting a rent increase request:
- Rent increase amount cannot exceed the current payment standard for the unit size and submarket
- A market rent comparable study will determine the final rent amount
To start the rental increase review, first serve the tenant with a 60-day notice of the change. Then, no later than 10 business days from the issue date, provide HACSB with a copy of the notice via mail, fax or email processingteam@hacsb.com) for review.
Finally, if the rent increase is approved, the Housing Authority will provide a notice of change to tenant and housing authority rent portions.
