Below are Lewiston Housing’s current payment standards. These amounts represent the maximum subsidy that can be applied to an assisted unit.
Payment standards do not set the rent, and apartments must still meet rent reasonableness requirements based on comparable market units. Actual tenant rent portions will vary depending on household income and program rules.
