Local housing costs

HUD’s fair market rent for Lake 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)
$1,082per month
Two-bedroom fair market rent (FY2026)
$1,317per month
Income limit, one person (FY2026)
$35,350per year
Income limit, four people (FY2026)
$50,450per 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.
