Section 8 in Arizona
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers are administered by local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) across Arizona. Each PHA sets its payment standard — the maximum subsidy amount — as a percentage of the local FMR, typically between 90% and 110%. Income eligibility is determined separately using HUD's income limits, which define the 30%, 50%, and 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) thresholds for each household size.
