PBV Project-Based Voucher open
Project-Based Vouchers at Augusta Housing Authority are attached to specific apartment complexes or units in Augusta. Unlike the standard Housing Choice Voucher, PBV assistance stays with the property — not with you. However, after one year of occupancy, you may request a standard portable voucher.
