Landlord analysis: Williamsburg
43 tenants have either applied to a Williamsburg listing in the last six months or named Williamsburg as a preferred location on their profile. Against 13 active VoucherMatch listings in the neighborhood, that is a 3.3:1 demand-to-supply ratio.
Demand here is led by CityFHEPS (50% of interested tenants), with Section 8 (HCV) adding another 22.5%. A landlord accepting only Section 8 in Williamsburg will see a meaningfully narrower applicant pool; accepting CityFHEPS captures the dominant share.
Bedroom-size demand skews toward 2BR units (31 tenants). The applicable CityFHEPS/FHEPS/HASA payment standard for 2BR units is $3,058; the FY2026 Section 8 HUD FMR rose to $2,910 from $2,780 (+4.7% YoY).
