In order to have a rental unit approved, your rent amount has to be between 30-40% of your gross income less expenses and utility allowances. There is a complex formula used to calculate this amount which is dependent on the utilities included in the rent, location of the property, payment standard, size of your voucher, etc. Therefore, there is no accurate way to pre-determine a rental amount that will be approved. Once you have found a location, a calculation will be made to determine if it is eligible within your income.
