The Project-Based Voucher Family Briefing is a subscription service. With a one-time setup fee of $750 and a subscription fee of $199 each following year, you'll get access to an online platform where your tenants can download their briefing packet, watch the Project-Based Voucher Family Briefing Video, and start searching for rentals.

Give families a clear, welcoming introduction to the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program with NMA’s Project-Based Voucher Family Briefing Video, made in partnership with AffordableHousing.com.

The PBV program shares many requirements with the Housing Choice Voucher program, but there are important differences families need to understand. Unlike a tenant-based voucher, PBV assistance is connected to a specific property and unit. NMA’s briefing video explains how the program works, what families can expect when leasing a PBV unit, and their responsibilities after move-in.

Designed for housing authorities and PBV property partners, the video provides a consistent, professional briefing experience while helping families understand the program from move-in through continued participation.

Through accessible, friendly explanations, families will learn about:

• How the PBV program works, including the roles and responsibilities of families, housing authorities, and property owners or managers

• What families should expect after move-in, including annual and interim reexaminations, inspections, reporting household and income changes, lease requirements, and family obligations
