About affordable housing in Seaforth
Seaforth is one of the smaller communities we cover in Minnesota, served by the same county-level Fair Market Rent and HUD income limits as its neighboring towns in Redwood County. If you're looking for a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher, project-based rental assistance, or simply trying to figure out whether your household qualifies for HUD-subsidized housing in Seaforth, the numbers below are the place to start.
Fair Market Rent is the maximum monthly rent that a Section 8 voucher will cover in this area. HUD sets it once a year, usually at the 40th percentile of local rents for a standard, modest unit. In Seaforth, specific FY2024 Fair Market Rent figures are not published here — see HUD's official Fair Market Rent tool at huduser.gov for current figures. Income limits, on the other hand, decide who is eligible to apply at all — they're calculated as a percentage of the area median income for the surrounding county or metropolitan area, then adjusted for household size.

What rents look like in Seaforth
A typical voucher-holding family of three or four in Seaforth pays rent up to the HUD-approved Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom unit — contact the local PHA or see HUD's official Fair Market Rent tool at huduser.gov for current dollar figures. These figures don't include utility allowances, which the local housing authority calculates separately based on whether heat, hot water, and electricity are included in the lease.
Households earning at or below the 50% AMI threshold above generally meet the income test for Section 8 in Seaforth. Once admitted to the program, your household typically pays around 30% of its adjusted income toward rent and utilities, and the voucher covers the difference up to the FMR cap.
Frequently asked questions about housing in Seaforth
What is the rent range for a 2-bedroom apartment in Seaforth?
HUD's FY2024 Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom in this area is not published on this page pending verification — see HUD's official Fair Market Rent tool at huduser.gov for the current figure. Section 8 voucher holders can rent units priced up to the FMR cap (and sometimes higher under exception payment standards approved by the local PHA).
What income do I need to qualify for Section 8 in Seaforth?
For most households, the 50% AMI column above is the relevant cap. Households at or below the 50% AMI threshold for the relevant household size are generally income-eligible for the Housing Choice Voucher program — see HUD's Income Limits documentation system (linked below) for the current dollar thresholds covering Seaforth. Federal rules also require that at least 75% of new vouchers go to households at or below the 30% AMI level, so smaller-income households are prioritized. HUD's Income Limits documentation system publishes the official county-level tables HUD itself uses.
