An extensive set of statutory provisions and regulations
governs the calculation of the subsidy that must be paid on
behalf of each tenant. See 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(o); 24 C.F.R.
§ 982.501 et seq. To begin with, the Department of Housing
and Urban Development must set the fair market rent for
established geographic areas across the United States.
24 C.F.R. § 982.503(a)(1). The public housing agency must
use this fair market rent to create a local voucher “payment
standard” for each of the areas in its jurisdiction. 24 C.F.R.
§ 982.503(b)(1)(I). A payment standard is the maximum
subsidy payment that the housing agency will provide for
each type of apartment in the area. Id. It must generally be
set between 90 percent and 110 percent of the fair market rent
for the area. 24 C.F.R. § 982.503(b)(1)(i).2
