Scale profile for Springfield Housing Authority

With 1,370 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Springfield Housing Authority sits at the 80th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 82nd percentile inside MO.

Across MO's 95 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $888–$1,358/month (median $888).
