Project-based Rental Assistance

English to French Social Sciences Government / Politics Administration du logement
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..

Merci

Daryo Oct 10, 2023:
The ONLY really "official" translations you will ever see would be for terms used in translated international treaties.

What you are looking for is the "usually accepted" translation, NOT a translation supported by / imposed by some state authority.

You are free to "invent" your own translation, as I very much doubt that there is any official French document about rent subventions in USA.

Aide à la location par projet

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
Peer comment(s):

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

Dans ce cas, l'état subventionne le loyer auprès des bailleurs et offre aux potentiels locataires enregistrés des locations à coûts réduits.

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


“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.
