Maximum of 50% of VASH vouchers can be project based
On March 16, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Public and Indian Housing (PIH) issued guidance on Project-Based HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) housing vouchers. Click here to read HUD’s Guidance.
The purpose of the notice is to provide guidance to public housing agencies (PHAs) that were awarded HUD-VASH vouchers and are interested in project-basing a portion of those vouchers. On a case-by-case basis, HUD can consider requests from a PHA to do so. No more than 50 percent of a PHA’s allocation of HUD-VASH vouchers (rounded down) may be project-based.
This guidance provides information on review factors, continued assistance for families that move from project-based units, and who to contact for further details.
