Project Based Voucher

Definition

  • Project Based Vouchers (PBVs) are part of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, which is administered by Public Housing Agencies (PHAs).
  • Project Based Vouchers are assigned to the rental unit and stay with that unit. They cannot be transferred.
  • A project-based voucher (PBV) is a type of rental assistance that is linked to a specific property and project, rather than to a family. PBVs are part of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, which is administered by Public Housing Agencies (PHAs).
