Built for PBV families
For Housing Authorities and their PBV property owners and managers.
PBV shares many rules with the Housing Choice Voucher program, but families need to understand where it differs. A tenant-based voucher moves with the family. PBV assistance stays with a specific property and unit.
This family-friendly video explains how the program works, what to expect when leasing a PBV unit, and what families are responsible for after move-in. Every family gets the same professional briefing, no matter who on your staff they meet.
