HUD HCV Guidebook § 3.3
Rate
As of June 6, 2024, HUD will no longer approve success rate payment standards.36 PHAs that had a HUD
approved success rate payment standard prior to June 6, 2024, may continue to use the approved payment
standard amount.37 However, the actual dollar amount of the approved success rate payment standard may
never exceed the amount established by the PHA as of June 6, 2024. The approved success rate payment
standard may remain in effect until the applicable FMR exceeds the approved amount. PHAs are encouraged
to assess whether they should transition to the applicable FMR when that amount exceeds the maximum
payment standard the PHA established under its success rate payment standards.
