Section 8 - Applicant With Lower Bedrooms

[JR Gramstad]

I have a Section 8 property that has 3 bedrooms. We found a prospect that has a voucher for 1 bedroom and the voucher exceeds the FMR listed on the Section 8 website for a 3 bedroom.

For example, the 3 bedroom FMR is $1,800. The prospect voucher is $2,000 for a one bedroom.

My question is would Section 8 pay the 3 bedroom FMR in this situation or the 1 bedroom FMR?
