HUD-VASH PBV units are counted in the maximum 20 percent of voucher budget authority that may be project based. * HUD-VASH PBV Proposals Headquarters must approve a PHA’s proposal to project base HUD-VASH voucher units. Proposals may be for existing, new construction and substantially rehabilitated units.

Also, the PHA must offer the family continued tenant-based assistance in the form of a voucher or comparable tenant-based rental assistance. * Continued Assistance - 2 A HUD-VASH family that no longer requires case management cannot be terminated for this reason. The PHA may offer the family a regular voucher to free up the HUD-VASH voucher. If there is no regular voucher available, the family can move with its HUD-VASH voucher.  * Continued Assistance - 3 If the family takes its HUD-VASH PBV to use as a tenant-based voucher, the PHA must assign a HUD-VASH voucher recipient to the PBV unit. If there is no HUD-VASH voucher available, the PHA may attach a regular voucher, if available, to the PBV unit which must be occupied in accordance with the PHA’s preferences for the unit. Preferences cannot be limited to HUD-VASH voucher holders or participants * S
