Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
This HUD notice announces the Fiscal Year 2027 Fair Market Rents (FMRs) used to set payment standards under the Housing Choice Voucher program and other HUD programs, effective October 1, 2026. It explains the methodology changes for FY 2027, including a new utility inflation factor calculation, and describes procedures for PHAs and the public to submit comments or request reevaluation of specific area FMRs by the comment deadline. PHAs should note that FMRs also affect their annual HCV Renewal Funding Inflation Factors, so reevaluation requests may have funding implications.
