Local housing costs
HUD’s fair market rent for Etowah County sets what a housing voucher covers here. It is a useful floor for what local housing costs, not a price for care.
- One-bedroom fair market rent (FY2026)
- $792per month
- Two-bedroom fair market rent (FY2026)
- $927per month
- Income limit, one person (FY2026)
- $27,550per year
- Income limit, four people (FY2026)
- $39,300per year
The income limits are HUD’s very low income threshold, about 50 percent of area median income. They are the line most Section 8 and income-restricted senior housing programs use. HUD publishes a one-person and a four-person figure, so households of two or three fall between the two numbers above.
