| Apartment size | Lottery rent | CityFHEPS maximum |
|---|---|---|
| One-bedroom | $2,998 | $2,734 |
| Two-bedroom | $3,243 | $2,997 |
What it means: each size has one rent, so the lowest and highest rent are the same.
Source: rents from the Housing Connect listing; maximums from DSS-8r, which calls them "the maximum rent amounts if all utilities are included in the lease", in effect since April 1, 2026.
The listing says: "Tenant is responsible for the following utilities- Electricity, electric stove, electric heat". So VoucherMatch subtracts DSS-8r's "Electric with Cooking Range" and "Electric Heat Only" allowances.

| One-bedroom | $2,734 | $2,546 | $2,998 |
