Project-Based Voucher Program
The Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program is a discretionary component of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. The PBV attaches rental assistance to specific housing units in properties that are determined to be decent, safe and sanitary through the Housing Quality Standards inspection process. Under the PBV program, Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) enters into an assistance contract with the owner for specified units and for a specified term.
Tenants residing in Project-based units pay 30% of their income for rent and utilities, and the balance of their housing costs are paid by OCHA. Tenants in Project-Based units are assisted as long as they live in the unit and continue to qualify for the program.
Many of our PBV projects are fully leased. When a vacancy occurs, OCHA will fill the vacancy from a referral through the Coordinated Entry System (CES). In order to be referred through CES, interested persons must be connected to CES through an access point. You may contact 2-1-1 to request to be connected to a CES access point for housing opportunities.
If you are on our current Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) waiting list, on the CES list and are eligible for one of OCHA's PBV projects, you will have priority for the project when a vacancy occurs.
If you are on our HCV waiting list and are interested in any of these projects, please reach out to OCHA staff at: (714) 480-2835 for more information.
