HAP sketch

Sketch only: 30% of gross monthly income, no deductions, no min-rent, no 40% cap test. Confirm with the PHA.

Investor

Use the 2BR/3BR SAFMR as a voucher-underwriting check on 2–4 and small 5–50 unit product, not as market rent. Voucher Spread™ (SAFMR vs FMLS small multifamily) is published on qualifying Georgia ZIPs only.

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.
