Project-based assistance is appurtenant to specific housing units, pursuant to which the government provides rental assistance payments to unit owners on behalf of low-income tenants in those units. Id. Tenant-based assistance, on the other hand, is appurtenant to the tenant, pursuant to which the tenant may retain a rental subsidy when he or she moves to another Section 8 housing unit. See 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(o), (r); 24 C.F.R. §§ 982.1(b)(1), 982.314, 982.353, 982.355. Under both forms of assistance, the tenant contributes a prescribed portion of family income toward the rent due, ordinarily the greater of 30 percent of “adjusted income” or 10 percent of gross income. 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(o)(2); see also id. § 1437a(a)(l). The government pays the balance of the rent to the owner, up to a “payment standard” for the dwelling unit, which ordinarily cannot exceed 110% of a local “fair market rental” value established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). See id. § 1437f(c), (o)(l)-(2). The Section 8 program is funded by the federal government and administered by local public housing authorities (PHAs). Barrientos, 583 F.3d at 1202.
