Mainstream Vouchers are tenant-based vouchers serving households that include a non-elderly person with a disability, available to PHAs through a competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), and noncompetitively through CARES Act authorization. The Moderate Rehabilitation program provides projectbased rental assistance for low-income families. The program was repealed in 1991 and no new projects are authorized for development. Assistance is limited to properties previously rehabilitated pursuant to a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract between an owner and a PHA. B.
