HUD HCV Guidebook § 6.2
Shared Housing
For shared housing, the threshold for requiring HUD approval of an RA EPS is based on the FMR/SAFMR of the
voucher size approved for the family. The pro-rata calculation required for shared housing only applies to the
payment standard and utility allowance. The pro-rata calculation should not be applied to the FMR/SAFMR.
The payment standard for a family that resides in shared housing is the lower of: (1) The payment standard
amount on the PHA payment standard schedule for the family unit size; or (2) The pro-rata portion of the
payment standard amount on the PHA payment standard schedule for the size of the shared housing unit.94
Refer to the Special Housing Types chapter for further information on how to calculate the payment standard
for special housing types.
