Studio Section 8 apartments in Cleveland Heights, OH

Cleveland Heights's Small-Area Fair Market Rents change by ZIP code, so a studio voucher will cover more in some neighborhoods than others. Here are the current payment standards across 8 tracked neighborhoods.

Voucher protections vary by locality

Cleveland Heights passed a source-of-income anti-discrimination ordinance in 2021, before Ohio HB 430 (2022) preempted new local SOI laws. The ordinance is still on the books and enforced by the city, but its post-HB-430 legal standing is uncertain per the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (2024). Voucher tenants have stronger footing here than in Cleveland proper.
