Project-based vouchers (PBV) are rental assistance for eligible families who live in specific housing developments or units. The PBV program is a component of the Housing Choice Voucher Program (commonly called Section 8), a federally funded rental assistance program.
PBV assists families with rent burdens to afford their rents after they pay approximately 30% of their adjusted incomes.
The Project-Based Voucher program is different from the regular HCV program in that the subsidy is “attached” to the unit and may have supportive service requirements.
RAD is a federal program that allows Rent Supplement (Rent Supp), Rental Assistance Payment (RAP), and Mod Rehab properties to convert tenant protection vouchers issued upon contract expiration or termination to project-based assistance. The tenant protection vouchers you have applied for are Project Based Vouchers (PBV).
ECC issues Enhanced vouchers to eligible residents who live in certain developments where the owners prepay the existing mortgage or voluntarily terminate the project’s mortgage insurance. This is referred to as “conversion.”
ECC also issues Enhanced vouchers to eligible residents who live in certain developments where the owners refinance or “de-couple” the existing mortgage.
For more information, view or download the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 8: Enhanced Vouchers [PDF].
