English term or phrase: Project-based Rental Assistance
Je cherche l'équivalent/traduction officielle de ce terme en français. Il s'agit d'un programme de subvention du bail aux USA.

Section 8 (Project-based Vouchers or Project-based Rental Assistance) also bases rent on 30% of a resident’s income..

project-based rental assistance
Aide à la location par projet


Explanation:
Low CL as this is simply an attempt at a literal translation
It would be better to have an understanding of how this assistance actually works and perhaps to arrive at a more "functional" translation

neutral  Daryo: The "projects" in this ST are roughly similar to HLM in France or council housing in UK - it's a kind of state intervention in the housing market // "par projet" would confuse a French native with no clues about "projects" as a form of housing in US.

  -> Low CL as explained but I think a Fr-speaker would recognise "projet" as a housing development in the context

programme d'accés à des logements bon marché pour les familles à bas revenu


Explanation:

“Project-based” rental assistance differs from “tenant-based” rental assistance, which families with low incomes can use to rent any privately owned home that meets program guidelines. The main form of tenant-based rental assistance is the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

How Does Section 8 PBRA Help Recipients?Copy link

PBRA helps people afford housing and avoid homelessness or other kinds of housing instability. PBRA can also allow older adults and people with disabilities to continue to live in their home communities and, if paired with supportive services, can help people with chronic health conditions maintain stable housing.

Who Is Eligible for Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance?Copy link

A family or individual must have a “low income” — meaning that their income may not exceed 80 percent of the local median — to live in Section 8 PBRA housing.

For each participating housing development, at least 40 percent of the subsidized units that become available annually must go to families with “extremely low incomes” (up to the poverty line or 30 percent of the local median, whichever is higher). Most of the remaining units are restricted to families or individuals with incomes not above half of the local median.

In 2016, the latest year with available data, 87 percent of households living in PBRA homes were older adults, disabled, currently employed, recently employed, or likely subject to policies under other programs that take away benefits for not meeting work requirements. Older adults or people with disabilities head two-thirds of PBRA-assisted households.
