About affordable housing in Pinhook Corner
Pinhook Corner is one of the smaller communities we cover in Oklahoma, served by the same county-level Fair Market Rent and HUD income limits as its neighboring towns in Sequoyah 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 Pinhook Corner, 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 Pinhook Corner, FY2024 Fair Market Rent ranges from $725 for a studio up to $1,560 for a four-bedroom unit.
