What a voucher pays here

The voucher doesn't pay the FMR itself. It pays the payment standard. Housing authorities set it anywhere from 90% to 110% of FMR, which puts a two-bedroom standard in Hoonah-Angoon somewhere between $1,314 and $1,606. The tenant pays roughly 30% of their income, the voucher covers the rest up to the standard, and the PHA won't approve a rent above what comparable unassisted units get.

$1,460 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $58,400 a year. Put another way, $28 an hour full time.

Worked example for a two-bedroom renting at the payment standard. The tenant pays 30% of monthly income and the voucher covers the rest.

Monthly household income	Tenant pays (30%)	Voucher pays at 90%$1,314	Voucher pays at 100%$1,460	Voucher pays at 110%$1,606
$2,500	$750	$564	$710	$856

About this rate

Fair Market Rent is HUD's estimate of what a modest, decent unit rents for in an area, utilities included. It's set once a year and runs October to September. For FY 2026 that's October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. In Hoonah-Angoon, that runs from $1,007 for a studio up to $1,933 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.

Because Hoonah-Angoon sits outside any HUD metro area, its rate is a census area-wide figure built from local rents. One number covers every address in the census area, Angoon included.

Among Alaska's 30 counties, Hoonah-Angoon ranks 15th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 3% above the state median of $1,424 and about 43% above the national median county at $1,018. About 2,329 people live here, 23rd in the state.
