A payment standard is Cleburne Housing’s maximum allowable monthly assistance; Payment standards include rent and utilities. HUD determines the fair market rent (FMR) for a moderately priced unit in the area; Cleburne Housing sets the payment standards based on FMR. If a family rents over the payment standard they will be required to pay the additional amount; however they may not pay more than 40% of their adjusted monthly income for rent.
Effective Jan. 1, 2023, payment standards are divided by zip codes:
