Vouchers are portable — you can move to another jurisdiction. Compare the estimated HAP in your current vs. destination county.
Port your voucher
Portability requires the receiving PHA to accept your voucher and may involve a different payment standard and 12-month absorbtion rules. Estimates use each area's FY2026 FMR.
Select both your current and destination county to compare.
Independent estimate — not HUD or PHA advice. voucherfig provides calculations from official HUD FY2026 data for planning purposes only. Your local Public Housing Agency (PHA) sets the actual payment standard, utility allowance, deductions, and eligibility, and may apply local preferences. Always confirm with your PHA before making housing decisions.
