How HUD housing data is organized in Maine
HUD publishes Fair Market Rent and income limits at the county or metropolitan area level, not the city level — so two towns inside the same Maine county will share the same FMR ceiling and the same income-eligibility brackets. That's why this directory leads with counties: the county page is the single most useful starting point for anyone navigating the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program in non-metro Maine.
Below you'll find every county in Maine, separated into rural / non-metro counties (where this site focuses) and larger or metro counties. After the county lists, scroll down for the alphabetized index of small towns and unincorporated communities we cover in this state.
