Public Notice - Update to Payment Standards
Public Notice of Retroactive Change in Payment Standards
The Kendall Housing Authority hereby provides notice to the public of a change in its payment standard methodology for the Housing Choice Voucher Program.
Effective retroactively to January 1, 2026, KHA will adopt the use of Fair Market Rents (FMRs) as published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to calculate payment standards in place of Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs), which had previously been utilized. Updated FMRs and Payment Standards are listed below-
| Efficiency | One Bedroom | Two Bedroom | Three Bedroom | Four Bedroom | |
| FY 2026 FMR | $1,413 | $1,562 | $2,050 | $2,819 | $2,918 |
| KHA Payment Standard | $1,413 | $1,562 | $2,050 | $2,819 | $2,918 |
This change applies to all applicable program participants and will be implemented in accordance with HUD regulations and KHA policy. The retroactive adoption of FMRs may impact payment standards and tenant rent portions.
KHA remains committed to administering its programs in a manner that ensures compliance with federal requirements while maintaining program integrity and financial sustainability.

John St, Yorkville, IL 60560, the DuPage Housing Authority office at 711 E. Roosevelt Rd., Wheaton, IL 60187, or via email at hcv@dupagehousing.org
