Important Notice

Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Waiting Lists Closure Notice

Effective February 9, 2026, the County of Riverside Housing Authority will be closing all Project-Based Voucher (PBV) waiting lists.

Applications will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. on February 8, 2026. Applications submitted after this deadline will not be accepted.

Once the waiting lists close, applicants will no longer be able to access or update their PBV registration information online. Please note that applications will not be withdrawn or adversely affected due to the inability to make updates during this period.

The PBV waiting lists are being closed to allow the agency to process applications already received and to ensure the timely and efficient administration of the program. Placement on a waiting list does not guarantee housing assistance.

At this time, no reopening date has been scheduled. Notice of any future reopening will be posted on the Housing Authority’s website.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Registrations for all programs are accepted online. You can register by clicking the appropriate link below.
