Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments. A Mainstream Project-Based Voucher is a housing voucher that stays with the property, so the property owner can assist adults with disabilities and those they live with (called a family) to live affordably. The property can be a single family home or multi-family property. The property owner submits an application to the Dallas Housing Authority.
