Project-Based

View All Glossary Definitions

Project-based housing assistance, as opposed to Tenant-based, is a broad category of affordable housing programs where the rental subsidy is tied to the apartment community or the individual unit. When a tenant moves out of a Project-based assistance unit, the tenant will no longer benefit from the unit's subsidy.
