Rental terms used on this page
- Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)
- Rental help run by a housing authority. You find a home, and the agency checks the unit, rent and your household before it approves payment.
- Payment standard
- An amount the agency uses to work out housing assistance for a unit size and area. It does not mean that any home at that rent will be approved.
- FMR and SAFMR
- HUD rent estimates for an area (Fair Market Rent) or ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rent). They include rent and most tenant-paid utilities. Your agency may use a different payment standard.
- Utility allowance
- The agency’s estimate of the cost of utilities you must pay. It is not a promise to pay your actual bills.
- Gross rent and tenant share
- Gross rent combines the lease rent and the agency’s utility allowance. Your tenant share is the part you must pay after the agency works out your help.
- Portability
- Moving with a voucher to an area served by another housing agency. Ask your current worker what to do before you move.
- Request for tenancy approval
- The unit and owner paperwork your agency needs to start its rent and housing-quality review. Ask the agency for its form and deadline.

Planning a voucher search in Sedgefield
In Sedgefield, compare the unit’s actual position with both your boarding point and daily errands. New Bern and Scaleybark have different access and parking arrangements. Keep transit parking separate from the space, if any, included in the apartment lease.
Start with New Bern’s published address
New Bern Station is at 129 New Bern Street and lists an accessible platform, covered waiting area and bicycle storage. Check the approach from the resident entrance and the timetable for your travel day. Those station features do not establish a private path from an advertised apartment.
New Bern Station — CATSRead Scaleybark’s garage validation instructions
CATS directs Scaleybark riders to the MAA LoSo garage using the designated CATS lane, a parking ticket and an eligible same-day transit pass for validation. Review the current instructions before driving. This rider parking arrangement is separate from residential parking at a rental property.
Scaleybark Station — CATSQuestions about your Sedgefield search
- Is Scaleybark’s transit garage unrestricted free parking?
- No. CATS publishes an entry and validation process tied to eligible same-day transit passes. Check the current rules for your trip.
- Does a station amenity establish that the apartment is accessible?
- No. Inspect the rental entrance, floor, stairs and elevator arrangements separately, and check the full route between the unit and platform.
