REDONDO BEACH HOUSING AUTHORITY (RBHA) PAYMENT STANDARDS:
Effective 2/1/2024 

* THE NEW PAYMENT STANDARDS ARE EFFECTIVE 2/01/2024 FOR NEW ADMISSIONS/LEASES.  THE NEW PAYMENT STANDARDS WILL BE UPDATED AT RECERTIFICATION 3/01/2024 AND THEREAFTER FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS.

RBHA Section 8 Payment Standards are set by the Redondo Beach Housing Authority based on rental market information published each year by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

A payment standard is RBHA's maximum allowable monthly assistance toward an assisted family's gross rent.  Gross rent is the total of the (1) contract rent charged by the landlord; and (2) the utility allowance that the RBHA credits to the family for those essential utilities for which the family is responsible, including a stove or refrigerator provided by the family.

Payment standards DO NOT determine or limit the rent a landlord may charge, the maximum contract rent a landlord may charge is based on the reasonable rent for the unit and the family's income.

As applicable, payment standards DO determine how much of the rent is paid by RBHA, and how much by the family.

In cases where a proposed rent increase is received by the RBHA and causes an undue financial burden for a participating family, and the effective date of the increase does not coincide with the family’s annual re-examination date and/or lease renewal date, the RBHA will contact the owner and recommend that the effective date of the proposed rent increase coincide with the family’s annual re-examination date and/or lease renewal date.  Such recommendation by the RBHA is non-binding to the property owner.
