Scale profile for Yuma City Housing Authority

With 1,456 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Yuma City Housing Authority sits at the 82nd percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 81st 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). A large PHA like this typically serves more than one FMR area, so applicants should look up the metro-specific standard rather than treating the state median as their number. 5 other AZ PHAs appear in the nearby list below; comparing authorized-unit counts there shows whether Yuma City Housing Authority is the dominant local issuer or one of several large peers.
