HADC implemented Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs) on April 1, 2018. SAFMRs are fair market rents (FMRs) established at the ZIP code-area level and replaced the 50th percentile FMRs previously required by HUD.
Effective November 1, 2017, all Housing Choice Voucher Program participants are required to report increases in household income within 10 days. HADC staff will calculate a rent adjustment to include the new income. Participants can also report decreases in their income, and will receive a rent adjustment. 
Project-Based
The Housing Authority of DeKalb County (HADC) has two types of Project-Based Voucher assistance, including Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) and Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Vouchers. The RAD Project-Based Vouchers are funded through public housing conversions.
HADC currently maintains PBV Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contracts with several different communities in DeKalb County.
HADC Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Waiting List opened in November 2021 for ONLINE pre-applications for available "Elderly" (62+), "Near-Elderly" (55+) and "Family" community options. All PBV Waiting Lists will remain open until further notice.
In addition to the available PBV Waiting List Community Options, HADC’s Waiting List for Mills Creek Crossing (family) will open on December 6, 2024.

Key features of the program:
- A Public Housing Agency (PHA) may enter into a HAP contract with an owner for an initial term of up to 15 years and an extension of the initial term of up to 15 years at the time of initial HAP contract execution or any time before the expiration of the contract. The Housing Authority must determine whether such an extension is appropriate to continue providing affordable housing for low-income families. Both the initial contract term and any contract extension are subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
- Except for units designated for families that are elderly, disabled, and/or receiving supportive services, no more than 25 percent of units in a multifamily project may have Project-Based Voucher (PBV) assistance.
