Scale profile for Bexar County Housing Authority
With 2,284 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Bexar County Housing Authority sits at the 88th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 90th percentile inside TX.

Across TX's 215 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $973–$1,931/month (median $1,015).
