Project Based Voucher (PBV) Program
The Project Based Voucher (PBV) Program provides affordable rental housing at specific properties throughout Prince George's County. This program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and administered locally by the Housing Authority of Prince George's County (HAPGC).
The PBV Program is part of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. Unlike tenant-based vouchers under HCV Program, PBV assistance is attached to designated units at approved properties. If a family moves out of a PBV unit, the rental assistance remains with the PBV unit.
PBV units are located at privately owned properties that have entered into a contract with the Housing Authority of Prince George's County.
