PROJECT-BASED HOUSING

The Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program offers rental housing options at specific housing locations. Assistance is attached to particular rental units, meaning if you live in a rental unit under the PBV Program and move, the assistance stays with the unit. The Property will not be able to give you information on obtaining assistance through the program. 

The Project-Based Voucher provides case management to the participant. The assistance includes advocating for needed services and entitlements. Obtaining additional resources, intervening in crises, and providing personal support.
