Voucher Payment Standards
Voucher Payment Standards (VPS) are used as a guide to set the rent portion for tenants in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and certain other programs. The amounts shown below are not guaranteed. The Housing Authority inspector who visits your home will determine the contract rent based on unit condition, location and current open market rents.
These VPS apply to the following cities: Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, San Martin, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale.

*The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets the maximum rents (Fair Market Rents and Voucher Payment Standards) for all housing authorities across the nation. As the market warrants it, the Housing Authority has advocated for these rent ceilings to be increased in the County of Santa Clara to help make the Section 8 Program an appealing option for property owners.
