How much are you making from your section-8 units?

I'm looking to get an idea of how much people are getting from the CHA for renting to section-8 voucher holders. I found the "payment standards" document on the website but those numbers look higher than what I've been hearing. For those of you who are currently accepting section-8 in your buildings, how much are you getting for your 1, 2, or 3 bedroom apartments? Do you get more if it's a single family home or does it only matter how many bedrooms you have? What about garden apartments?  I'm looking at properties in Woodlawn, West Woodlawn, Washington Prk, or South Shore as an example.

Thanks for the tip. I very much doubt that will happen. He's never mentioned any such policy agenda in all of his many campaign speeches.  He's made it quite clear that he's very interested in helping the inner city families, working class families, and low income earners, not hurt them. But let's not get off-topic. 

you doubt that it will happen ? s8 was designed as a temporary help..it became a way of life. of course he did mention that "we will get people off welfare". s8 is exactly what hurts inner city families ...they dont care about anything cuz the check is coming. the idea is to get a job and start supporting yourself.
