The Project-Based Section 8 (PBCA) Program provides rental assistance for extremely low- to moderate-income residents living in certain apartment complexes throughout West Virginia. The subsidy is tied to specific complexes and paid directly to the owner on behalf of the resident. The rental subsidy does not follow the resident from property to property.

WVHDF works to ensure property owners, management agencies, and residents adhere to the requirements of the program. If you are a resident and have concern about your apartment or assistance, you must first contact the property manager or on-site personnel. If you need further assistance, you can contact WVHDF at 888-334-6065, 304-391-8630 or Section 8 Contract Administration.

VAWA (Violence Against Women Act)

The Violence Against Women’s Reauthorization Act, Final Rule, provides protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.  VAWA protections are not only available to women but also are available equally to all individuals regardless of sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. 

Visit HUD’s VAWA page for valuable information regarding this protection. The site also includes frequently asked questions. 

Fair Housing 

The Fair Housing Act protects people from discrimination when they are renting, buying, or securing financing for any housing.  Basically, the act protects everyone’s basic right to choose where to live and ensures equal treatment after obtaining housing.  The prohibitions specifically cover discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability and the presence of children.

In addition, there continues to be questions regarding assistance animals. HUD has a designated website to help, which includes the following:
