A new bill introduced November 15, from Representative Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), the Housing Access Improvement Act, would increase the share of Housing Choice Vouchers that public housing agencies can “project-base” (i.e., PHAs can enter into contracts with apartment owners to commit a voucher to a unit for up to 15 years (a term that is renewable)) by 10%, to 30%. Today, PHAs can project-base up to 20% of their vouchers, with some exceptions for additional increases when used to assist people in properties with supportive services, people experiencing homelessness, and veterans. LeadingAge supports the voucher program and allowing PHAs to increase the share of vouchers they can project-base. For example, vouchers can be project-based in Low Income Housing Tax Credit buildings, which otherwise might not be affordable to extremely low income older adults. Attaching project-based vouchers to multiple units in the same property can allow service providers to work more efficiently with residents and increase access to services, as explained in this brief on PBVs by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
