Project-Based Vouchers Used To Boost Utilization in Tight Market, Develop Supportive Housing Units

摘要

San Diego — (By an HDR Staff Reporter) — Housing authorities can improve their Section 8 voucher utilization in tight rental markets and expand supportive housing through the use of project-based vouchers (PBVs), said Tony Ucciferri, Section 8 program administrator for the San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA), who spoke at the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) annual conference. Ucciferri said PBVs may also be used to improve access to opportunity-rich neighborhoods as part of a PHA's deconcentration policy. In addition, he said that project-based vouchers can be used to encourage housing production in redevelopment areas.
