HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents are estimates of 40th-percentile gross rent (rent plus utilities) for standard-quality units by ZIP code; they are benchmarks, not the NYCHA Section 8 limit or an approval. NYCHA compares its payment standard with the gross rent: the rent plus NYCHA’s utility allowance for any utilities you pay. These are NYCHA’s payment standards for new rentals and transfers, effective January 1, 2026, used in every ZIP code since July 1, 2026. If HPD administers your voucher, HPD’s own schedule applies instead. Sources: HUD FY2027 Small Area FMRs (XLSX), NYCHA voucher payment standards.

Does a studio fit your Section 8 voucher?
Your voucher lists the bedroom size your household qualifies for, and the housing agency sets that size from who lives with you. You are not locked to it. You can rent a larger or a smaller apartment, but the subsidy is calculated from the lower of two payment standards: the one for your voucher size and the one for the apartment you actually rent.
So a studio is always allowed, whatever size your voucher says, and it is paid on the studio standard of $2,604 (2026, before any utility allowance).
If your household has grown, the fix is not a bigger apartment on the old voucher. Ask your agency to re-determine your voucher size first, then search.
