Project-Based Voucher Program
The Project-Based Voucher Program (PBV) offers rental housing options at specific 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 SRO is considered a special voucher and not a project based voucher.
