A voucher's value is calculated largely on the basis of HUD's determination of the "fair-market rent" ("FMR") for a dwelling of a particular size and type (e.g ., a two-bedroom home). 24 C.F.R. § 982.503(a)(1). An FMR represents the amount required "to rent standard quality housing throughout the geographic area in which rental housing units are in competition," including "the cost of utilities, except telephone." Id. § 888.113(a). HUD annually calculates and publishes in the Federal Register FMRs for different types of units in each market area as well as any proposed changes to FMR calculation procedures. 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(c)(1)(B) ; see also 24 C.F.R. § 982.503(a)(1). PHAs, in turn, use FMR calculations to establish "payment standard amounts" for each unit type. 24 C.F.R. § 982.503(a)(1).
