Purpose

The project-based voucher (PBV) program is an optional program that provides PHAs with a flexible tool to increase housing opportunities for low-income families. This course focuses on the concepts you need to master in order to successfully select and manage project-based voucher properties. NMA is offering a brand-new, fully revised class updated for the HOTMA Voucher Final Rule. We've also added more information on how to run your program day-to-day.

This class applies to standard PBV projects and does not discuss the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. If you are interested in RAD PBV training, please see NMA's RAD PBV Specialist course.

"Thanks again! I really do appreciate the clarity and guidance Nan McKay has given me the last 15 years. I send all my staff to your trainings as well as myself. The PBV training was so worth it, I would just be lost otherwise."
