HUD's directory categorizes it under the "Combined" program type, the classification that governs which voucher streams -- regular HCV, VASH, Family Unification, Mainstream, or project-based conversions -- it is eligible to run. HUD reports this authorized-unit figure as a capacity field. It is not a live waitlist, availability, eligibility, or application-status signal.
its main line is 5702868563. Verify current programs, availability, and any application path directly with the agency. Across PA's 52 HUD FMR areas, the FY2026 2-bedroom payment standard runs $973-$1,810/month (median $1,035); Sunbury Housing Authority sets its own figure within 90-110 percent of HUD's Fair Market Rent for the specific area it serves, so confirm the exact number for your metro before signing anything.
