2025 FMR and Section 8 Rents by State
Section 8 is a federal program that guarantees monthly rent payments to landlords. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) publishes Fair Market Rents, which are 40th percentile averages of local rents, to determine their standard payment amount.
Typically, the government guarantees 70% of the rent payment, and the tenant pays the remaining 30%. Section 8 tenants typically stay in their units 6-7x longer than regular tenants.
