Hopkinton

Hopkinton is a part of South (or Washington) County, where villages are abundant! The villages often cross municipal boundaries and appear within more than one town. Despite their rural nature, there is commercial activity and some services located within these villages.

Hopkinton borders Connecticut on its western side; the town of Richmond on its east, and Charlestown to its south. These three towns also form the school district known as Chariho. Hopkinton’s major routes are Route 3 (Main St.), which runs northeast to southwest through the town; Route 138, in the north, also known as Rockville Rd./Spring St. There is also an exit from I-95 at Hope Valley, Exit 2, to Rte. 138W.

What is the Fair Market Rate?

FMRs regularly published by HUD, represent the cost to rent a moderately-priced dwelling unit in the local housing market. The housing voucher tenant must pay 30 percent of its monthly adjusted gross income for rent and utilities, and if the unit rent is greater than the payment standard, the tenant is required to pay the additional amount.
