D. PROJECT-BASED VOUCHER ASSISTANCE (24.CFR 983.1)<br />
Purpose<br />
The PHA provides project-based vouchers (PBV) to expand housing opportunities for low to<br />
moderate income families by promoting the development and rehabilitation of low-income<br />
housing throughout <strong>Cuyahoga</strong> County.<br />
The PBV Program attaches rental assistance to housing units that are/will be occupied by<br />
households eligible for assistance through the <strong>Housing</strong> Choice Voucher Program (this differs<br />
from tenant-based vouchers in which the assistance is attached to the household and can be taken<br />
with the household when they move as long as they remain in good standing). HAP contracts for<br />
PBV are for multiple units, which must meet HQS and for which rent determinations must be<br />
completed.<br />
The purpose of the project-based voucher program is to encourage property owners to construct<br />
new standard housing (New Construction), or to upgrade substandard rental housing stock<br />
(Substantial Rehabilitation) and make it available to lower income families in the community.<br />
The implementing HUD rules for the project-based voucher program are established in 24 CFR<br />
Part 983.<br />
Selection of PBV Owners<br />
Units awarded a project-based voucher assistance contract will be selected by a competitive<br />
Request for Proposals (RFP), initiated by the PHA in compliance with PHA’s Purchasing<br />
Policies and Procedures. PHA will publicly advertise the RFP in a local newspaper of general<br />
circulation. The RFP will identify the number of project-based vouchers being made available,<br />
all site selection criteria and deadlines for receipt of proposals.<br />
Selection Criteria<br />
Proposals for project-based voucher assistance may be requested for new or existing structures or<br />
structures that will undergo rehabilitation as specified in the RFP. The type of units sought for<br />
project-based voucher assistance may have special conditions that are created to achieve a<br />
desired housing outcome for the type of families targeted to receive housing assistance and/or to<br />
create affordable housing opportunities in specific geographic areas meeting site selection<br />
criteria. Site selection criteria will be specified in the RFP in order to inform prospective bidders<br />
of the methodology used to evaluate the proposals. All units awarded project-based voucher<br />
assistance must comply with 24 CFR Part 983 regarding eligible housing.<br />
No more than 25 percent of the units in a projects may receive project-based voucher assistance.<br />
Units in projects consisting of single family buildings do not count against the 25 percent cap,<br />
nor do “excepted units” in a multifamily project. “Excepted units” are included under the PBV<br />
contract and identified as such. “Excepted units” are units in a multifamily project that are<br />
specifically made available for “qualifying families.”<br />
