PHAs are allowed to use 20% of voucher assistance funds to sponsor project-based vouchers. A PHA enters into an agreement with a property owner for a specified number of units for an initial period of 10 years. The housing units then become subsidized.

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.
