Abstract: Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) apply for funding to assist low-income families to lease housing. One of the programs through which PHAs provide housing assistance is the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, a tenant-based rental assistance program. This program operates by providing vouchers that cover a portion of the contract rent for a unit. Some PHAs project-base their vouchers (the rental assistance is tied to the unit, instead of the family). Project-based vouchers (PBVs) are becoming a larger percentage of PHAs overall HCV portfolios. HUD currently collects information on individual participants in the HCV program who are in PBV units and Project certificate (PBC) housing through the PIC system. In addition, HUD collects aggregate information on the total number of PBVs under contract at the PHA level but does not collect information at the project level.
