1. Where are these apartments located?

Our current project-based apartments are located in or near Portland. For a list of project-based voucher apartments please contact the Portland Housing Authority's receptionist.

2. How long will I have to wait for a Project-Based Voucher unit to be available?

Depending on the length of the wait list, you may have to wait several years for your name to come to the top of the wait list and for a vacancy to occur.

3. How will I know when apartments in new locations become available?

It is your responsibility to contact Portland Housing Authority periodically to learn about new housing opportunities. Unfortunately there are too many people on the waiting list to contact everyone individually.

We will make known any new Project-Based Voucher units that come available by posting online, or mailing letters to related service agencies, etc.

4. Is there a limit on how many people can live in the unit with me?

Yes. Your landlord can tell you the maximum number of people who can live in your unit and whether you may add new members to your household. Portland Housing Authority determines the number of bedrooms needed based on its subsidy standards. A unit can be determined to be "overcrowded" under the Housing Quality Standards for the program.
