Scale profile for Economic Improvement Council, Inc.
With 1,603 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Economic Improvement Council, Inc. sits at the 83rd percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 82nd percentile inside NC.

Across NC's 83 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $925–$1,750/month (median $998).
