Landlord analysis: Midtown
97 tenants have either applied to a Midtown listing in the last six months or named Midtown as a preferred location on their VoucherMatch profile. There are zero active Midtown listings on the platform today — meaning any landlord listing here right now has no in-market competition on VoucherMatch.
Demand here is led by CityFHEPS (64.1% of interested tenants), with FHEPS adding another 12.8%. A landlord accepting only Section 8 in Midtown will see a meaningfully narrower applicant pool; accepting CityFHEPS captures the dominant share.
Bedroom-size demand skews toward 1BR units (59 tenants). The applicable CityFHEPS/FHEPS/HASA payment standard for 1BR units is $2,762; the FY2026 Section 8 HUD FMR rose to $2,655 from $2,511 (+5.7% YoY).
