Application steps for Project Based Voucher programApplication steps for Project Based Voucher program

Project Based Vouchers (PBV)

A PBV is a housing choice voucher where the subsidy stays with the unit, not the individual voucher holder. Applicants must apply for specific communities and will then be placed on that community’s site-based waiting list managed by RRHA.

Application steps for Project Based Voucher program

Applying to the PBV waitlist

RRHA manages an active waiting list due to high interest in the program. PBV applications are accepted year-round.

No applicant is entitled to be on a waiting list or in a specific position on a waiting list.

Step 1 – Applicant creates online account

Create an online account with our applicant portal. (If you already have an account, go ahead and log in!)

Step 2 – Applicant applies to be on the PBV waiting list

Once you have an applicant account, you may log in anytime to apply for property-specific waiting lists that best meet your family’s needs.

Step 3 – RRHA emails applicant about placement onto property-specific waiting list(s)

Once your application is received, RRHA will confirm your family composition fits the bedroom size of that specific development.

Accepted applicants are placed on the waiting list. Rejected applicants are notified via email.

If selected to be placed on the waiting list, RRHA is unable to determine or estimate wait time for housing assistance.

Step 4 – RRHA selects applicant to review eligibility for housing

Your place on the waiting list is based on the properties you selected and/or the date and time you applied. Once your name gets to the top of the waiting list, you will receive an email with instructions and a checklist of required documents. You must complete the eligibility packet and provide the documents by a specified deadline.

Once all documents and forms have been received, the Tenant Selection Office will verify background information. The whole process usually takes up to 90 days.

RRHA will review the waiting list application to be sure your family meets RRHA and HUD eligibility requirements, including:

  • Be a family unit as defined by HUD and RRHA.
  • Earn less than the HUD income limit for the family’s size. 
  • Be U.S. citizens or eligible immigrants.
  • Provide Social Security numbers for all members of the household.
  • Allow RRHA to collect and verify all family information.
  • Meet RRHA’s standards for acceptable current or past behavior for all family members.

Step 5 – RRHA refers applicant to development for final approval

RRHA Tenant Selection Office will complete a referral form and submit it to the PBV development for final approval.

Step 6 – Applicant moves in

After final approval, RRHA will notify the applicant of a tentative move-in date.
