Scale profile for The Greenville Housing Authority

With 3,372 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, The Greenville Housing Authority sits at the 92nd percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 97th percentile inside SC. That puts it among the larger local administrators of federal rental assistance, not a single-office rural authority.

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