Hello Jason,
This is currently not possible, but there is an existing Feature Request for this: https://success.clarizen.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203984058-Make-a-View-Section-Always-Visible-Even-if-Empty
For future reference use CR-242260.
However, I think you could achieve this by creating Workflow Rules that would create a placeholder file/note on a project/task.
Please let me know if this helps.
