Housing authorities that may serve this ZIP

HUD does not publish each PHA’s adopted payment standard. Confirm which agency administers the voucher before you underwrite.

Investor

Use the 2BR/3BR SAFMR as a voucher-underwriting check on 2–4 and small 5–50 unit product, not as market rent. If Voucher Spread™ is published on this ZIP, the dollar gap is the underwriting input. Then open live Georgia inventory — do not stop at the HUD table.

Landlord / PHA

Payment standard ≠ asking rent. Confirm the adopted 90–110% schedule and the utility allowance. Rent reasonableness still applies even when asking rent sits inside the band.

Voucher household

The figures are gross-rent benchmarks. A unit at the SAFMR with tenant-paid utilities will clear less contract rent than the headline number. Ask the PHA for the current utility schedule before you tour.
