Scale profile for Johnson County Housing Authority

With 1,485 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Johnson County Housing Authority sits at the 82nd percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 91st percentile inside KS.

Across KS's 94 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $877–$1,426/month (median $877).
