DCA Project Based Voucher Properties to Open Waitlists on April 30, 2025
The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) announced today that several properties that have received Project Based Vouchers (PBVs) through the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program will open several property-maintained wait lists on April 30, 2025.
The voucher program, formerly known as Section 8, provides a rental subsidy to assist extremely low- and low-income individuals and families in renting safe, decent, and sanitary housing in the private rental market throughout 149 counties under DCA’s jurisdiction. Project Based Vouchers are a subset of the program in which the rental subsidy is assigned to a place or location, and tenants must register with and qualify for those specific properties to live in the units.
Each property maintains its own waitlist and screening procedures before sending potential applicants to DCA to qualify for units. Please check

list
to determine which properties will be opening a waitlist, for what duration of time, and how to contact them and apply. Households selected from the properties’ waitlists will be determined eligible by the property and DCA before being able to lease housing in one of the subsidized units. Eligibility for the program is based on several factors, including the family’s income and eligible citizenship status.
Interested applicants may submit questions to DCA through this form, and DCA will publish guidance before the waitlists open on April 30, 2025.
Interested applicants may also call (470) 802-4707 with questions or visit the HCV Help Center on the DCA website for further assistance.
While this is the first time DCA PBV properties are opening their property-maintained waitlists, DCA anticipates having quarterly waitlist openings for properties in the PBV program.
