Project-Based Voucher Program
Project-Based Vouchers, just like Housing Choice Vouchers, provide rental assistance to low-income households. However, Project-Based Vouchers are linked to a specific unit at a specific site.
How do Project-Based Vouchers work?
When a Project-Based Voucher unit is available, applicants at the top of the list for that site are notified and must contact the site manager. Applicants are screened for their eligibility as tenants by the site manager and then are determined eligible for the rental assistance by the Department of Housing Services.
More detailed information about the Project-Based Voucher program is available from the HUD website.
How to apply for the Project-Based Voucher program?
Waitlist application opportunities are announced as they become available on our website and monthly e-newsletter, which you can sign up to here. You can also create an applicant account to receive an e-mail notification.
