Description of PBV Program

Davis-Bacon requirements apply to existing PBV units when the nature of any work to be performed either before the execution of the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract or within eighteen (18) months after execution constitutes project development. The PBV program defines "development" as construction or rehabilitation of PBV housing after the selection date for a proposal. The scope and timing of the "development" work are important to determining whether Davis-Bacon requirements apply to existing housing under the PBV program.
