Program Participants
Project Based Voucher Rental Assistance
Project Based Voucher Program
When most people think about Section 8, they likely think about a “tenant-based” voucher (Housing Choice Voucher). This type of assistance allows a family to find privately owned housing and use the voucher to subsidize their rent. The Project Based Voucher (PBV) program is a rental subsidy program similar to the regular Section 8 HCV program, however, the major difference is that the subsidy in the PBV program is attached to the unit and does not move with the family. Under certain conditions, tenants occupying a PBV unit may be able to transfer their assistance into a regular Section 8 Voucher upon request.
Who Is Eligible for Project-Based Vouchers?
Federal rules ensure that Housing Choice Vouchers, whether tenant or project-based, are targeted to the families who need them most. Seventy-five percent of new households admitted each year to an agency’s Housing Choice Voucher program must be “extremely low income,” with incomes not exceeding 30 percent of the area median income. Other new households may have incomes not to exceed 50 percent of the area median income.

Success Stories
The Cannery
The long-vacant 62,000 square-foot former can factory and 42,000 square-foot industrial building that dominated the north side of the village were impediments to the revitalization of Fairport.
Sterling West
What began as a simple façade improvement project in 2004, resulted in the demolition of 2 buildings and the construction of what has become a signature project in the heart of the Village. The Fairport Urban Renewal Agency supported this project with a $300,000 low-interest loan and a façade grant. The total project cost was $1,200,000.
Iron Smoke Whiskey
Iron Smoke Whiskey, founded in 2011, is a small-batch craft distillery. Enjoying success, the distillery needed a larger location. Working with Fairport Local Development Corporation, a suitable site was identified, and Iron Smoke relocated to the Fairport location in 2014. The project was assisted with a low-interest loan for renovations, build-out costs, fixtures, and equipment. The total project cost was $850,000.
Fairport Landing
Developed through Urban Renewal programs in the 1970’s, the 120,000 square foot Fairport Landing shopping center had served as a key component of the Village’s commercial corridor. Due to shifting retail trends and lack of investment, the property was experiencing significant vacancy.
