What is the difference between Project Based Assistance and the Housing Choice Voucher?

In Project Based Assistance HUD issues a specified number of units in a complex as lower rent units. The subsidy is attached to the unit, not the tenant. After one year the tenant may receive a Housing Choice Voucher provided he/she is in good standing and meets eligibility requirements for Section 8.
