Scale profile for Sc State Housing Authority
With 2,217 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Sc State Housing Authority sits at the 88th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 88th percentile inside SC.

Across SC's 38 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $902–$1,816/month (median $1,009).
