The Project
Provide information and guidance to tenants in the process of converting from project based section 8 housing to enhanced vouchers.
The complex process of conversing project based section 8 housing can take up to 5 years. Additionally, many tenants do not understand the enhanced voucher process and often think they are losing their homes and section 8 all together. My project helps make this information accessible to these famiies, which can be used for future tenants to help them understand these transitions.
