What are the characteristics of tenant-based rental assistance?

In tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA), program participants are responsible for locating housing in the private rental market. If a program participant later moves to another unit, he/she can take the rental assistance and use it in the new unit. Although TBRA program participants may move and retain the rental assistance, recipients/subrecipients administering TBRA may limit where participants may reside if it is necessary to facilitate the coordination of supportive services.
