About Monarch Woods

Who can apply

This program serves households where the head or spouse is 62 or older who meet HUD income limits for the Virginia area (generally at or below 50% of area median income; many buildings prioritize 30%).

How to apply

1. Call the building at 804 320-4301 (managed by BHC Management Company) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) Section 8 voucher list.
3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.

Your rights

The Virginia Fair Housing Law (Va. Code § 36-96 et seq.), effective July 1, 2020, prohibits source-of-income (source of funds) discrimination statewide, including Housing Choice Vouchers. Two exemptions: landlords who own four or fewer rental properties in Virginia are not covered, and the protection does not apply if the funding source is not approved within 15 days
