The FMR is a reference figure, not the check. Most housing authorities set their voucher payment standard somewhere between 90% and 110% of the published FMR — $1,818 to $2,222/mo on a 3-bedroom here — and the exact percentage varies by public housing authority, with some running higher under a HUD-approved exception. Rent reasonableness against comparable unassisted rentals still applies before any lease is approved.

The DSCR math at this ZIP's rent.
At the ZIP 55313 3-bedroom Section 8 rent of $2,020/mo, the maximum PITIA that still clears a 1.20 DSCR is $1,683/mo.
