The Project Based Housing Choice Voucher Program is the federally funded, rental assistance program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities to afford decent, safe and sanitary housing in the private market. Other municipalities in Maryland maintain their own programs and waiting lists.

Eligibility for the Project Based Housing Choice voucher is determined based on a family’s total annual gross income and is limited to United States citizens and specified categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status. In general, the family’s income may not exceed 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area in which the family resides.
