Unit Based Program Overview

Overview

The Unit Based Program is an innovative strategy to ensure reliable, long- term affordability of quality housing. The program commits project-based vouchers to privately-developed and owned housing units in properties within Philadelphia’s stable and revitalizing neighborhoods.

The Unit Based Program is PHA’s version of HUD’s Project-Based Voucher (UBV) Program using funds from the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. Under the UBV Program, PHA attaches subsidy to specific housing units in multi-family developments in Philadelphia.
