Across VT's 12 HUD FMR areas, the FY2026 2-bedroom payment standard runs $1,007-$2,140/month (median $1,362); Barre Housing Authority sets its own figure within 90-110 percent of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the specific area it serves, so confirm the exact number for your metro before signing anything. its main line is 8024763185.
