For Choice Mobility under RAD PBRA, how long do residents have the right to move with tenant-based rental assistance?

Residents under the Choice Mobility option of the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) program have the right to move with tenant-based rental assistance for a period of 24 months. This timeframe is calculated from either the execution date of the rental assistance contract or the move-in date, whichever is applicable.

This duration allows residents the flexibility to relocate while maintaining their rental assistance, which can be integral in fostering stable housing situations and encouraging mobility to areas with better opportunities. The 24-month period also provides ample time for residents to make decisions about their housing circumstances without the constant pressure of imminent deadlines.

This choice addresses the aim of the RAD program to support tenant mobility and enhance residents' ability to find housing options that meet their needs, while the other options do not provide the comprehensive timeframe that is established by the program.
