If there are more people in the family household, income limits could be more than $96,000 annually to qualify for Section 8. If your family size grows or decreases, the total household income must still fall within the specific low- or very low-income limits for the particular housing market in which you live.

The program works as a rental subsidy that allows families to pay a reasonable amount of their income toward their rent. Eligible families will receive a voucher to begin searching for housing. Generally, families will pay no more than 40 percent of their adjusted monthly income toward their rent share.

The law states that it is illegal for anyone to deny you housing based on the type of lawful income you receive. On April 12, 2019, New York State amended the New York State Human Rights Law to protect all New Yorkers from discrimination based on lawful source of income.

The payments cover some or all of the voucher holder's rent. On average, each household will pay somewhere between 30% and 40% of its income on rent.

If the payment standard for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,036 and your household monthly adjusted income is $600, BHA will pay a maximum of $858. Your family may rent a unit with more bedrooms than the number on your voucher, but the payment standard amount is based on the unit size for which your family is eligible.
