Scale profile for Tempe Housing Authority

With 1,203 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Tempe Housing Authority sits at the 78th percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 76th percentile inside AZ. That puts it among the larger local administrators of federal rental assistance, not a single-office rural authority.

Across AZ's 14 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $1,129–$1,921/month (median $1,365).
