New York City Housing Authority
Unlike federal developments, 21 NYCHA developments built by the City and the State do not receive any form of operating subsidy.

What's the difference between tenant-based and project-based Section 8?

Paramark Real Estate Services - Property Management, Residen...
Tenant-based vouchers are attached to you as a tenant. A project-based voucher is attached to a particular property. If you live in a unit with a project-based voucher and you move, the Section 8 stays with the property and the next tenant uses the voucher. With a tenant-based voucher, you can take it anywhere as long as the home you wish to rent accepts Section 8 and meets the standards of the Section 8 program.

Section 8 (also known as Housing Choice Vouchers) is a HUD program, which provides rental payment assistance to qualifying tenants. Section 8 pays rent, which exceeds 30-40% of a tenant's adjusted monthly income. For example, if your landlord charges $500 per month for rent and you make $1,000 per month, you would pay $300 (30% of your monthly income) and Section 8 would pay $200 (the difference between what you can afford and what your landlord charges).
