Scale profile for Georgia Residential Finance
With 18,175 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Georgia Residential Finance sits at the 99th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 95th percentile inside GA. That puts it among the larger local administrators of federal rental assistance, not a single-office rural authority.
Across GA's 112 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $973–$1,820/month (median $973). A large PHA like this typically serves more than one FMR area, so applicants should look up the metro-specific standard rather than treating the state median as their number. 5 other GA PHAs appear in the nearby list below; comparing authorized-unit counts there shows whether Georgia Residential Finance is the dominant local issuer or one of several large peers.
The nationwide HUD median sits at 62%; agencies running a higher HCV share than that tend to lean toward tenant-based vouchers rather than project-based public housing stock.
