Project Based Voucher Program

Basic Info

DCA’s Project Based Voucher Program wait lists for tenants are currently closed. 

DCA’s Project Based Voucher Program is receiving requests for vouchers from landlords.  

Project-based vouchers (PBVs) are a component of a public housing agency’s (PHA’s) Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. PHAs are not allocated additional funding for PBV units; the PHA uses its tenant-based voucher funding to allocate project-based units to a project. Projects are typically selected for PBVs through a competitive process managed by the PHA; although in certain cases projects may be selected non-competitively. 

DCA is currently receiving requests for PBVs.  

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) requests proposals from developers for the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program.  PBV proposals are being accepted for up to 1,108 vouchers (the number of units to be funded) for new and existing housing construction projects within the 149 Georgia counties served by DCA. Properties have specific processes based on their competitive award status with DCA. For more information on which process applies to your property, please visit the DCA PBV Process FAQ and Process Guide. Any questions should be directed to DCA_PBV@dca.ga.gov.  

  • For properties that have received a competitive award from DCA between 2020 and 2023, responses must be received by Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at 5 PM.  

  • For existing properties that have not received a competitive award and those that received a competitive award before 2020, proposals must be received by Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at 5 PM. See DCA’s PBV Request for Proposals 2023 for more information.    

Note: Participation in the PBV program requires compliance with Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) requirements.  

 

DCA hosted an informational webinar for landlords interested in project based vouchers on Tuesday, September 26, 2023. You can view the session recording and review the document presented.
