householder or adopted by the householder. For example, a live-in aide is classified as a<br />
household member.<br />
Families consist <strong>of</strong> two or more persons related by birth, marriage or adoption and who reside<br />
together. A family may comprise an entire household, or it may be a subset <strong>of</strong> a household.<br />
That is, every household member is not necessarily a member <strong>of</strong> the householder’s family.<br />
Technically, this report did not examine families. Instead, the report examined households (all<br />
persons living in the housing unit), householders (the head <strong>of</strong> the households) and household<br />
members (the individual persons who live in the household). The report also did not track the<br />
total number <strong>of</strong> housing units, except where those units were occupied by householders.<br />
Vacant housing units are not measured.<br />
Types <strong>of</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> Assistance<br />
Low Income Public <strong>Housing</strong> (LIPH) are units that are typically located in traditional public<br />
housing developments and are generally reserved for non-elderly, non-disabled families. T<br />
Mixed-income Households: Mixed-income Family Developments provide housing services in<br />
newly revitalized mixed-income communities that contain public housing eligible rental units,<br />
rent subsidized units via tax credits, and market rate rental units.<br />
<strong>Housing</strong> Choice Vouchers -Tenant Based: Householders supported in this manner receive a<br />
regular voucher to <strong>of</strong>fset the market cost <strong>of</strong> rental housing.<br />
Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) or Project Based Vouchers: These vouchers allow AHA<br />
to leverage a broader array <strong>of</strong> housing opportunities in the private market and provide longterm<br />
housing assistance to low-income families. Project based assistance may be attached to<br />
housing developments that are located in more favorable neighborhoods; this gives<br />
householders access to better housing options.<br />
Supportive <strong>Housing</strong> Households: AHA’s supportive housing units support householders with<br />
intensive special needs including homelessness.<br />
