What you would actually pay in McCulloch County

For a two-bedroom in McCulloch County, that puts the likely payment standard somewhere between $941 and $1,150 per month. Confirm the exact figure with the authority issuing your voucher before signing a lease, since anything above the payment standard comes out of your own pocket.
