About This Program in Virginia

In Richmond, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an RRHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.

How to Apply in Virginia

Apply through RRHA at rrha.com when waitlists are open. Virginia protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (Va. Code § 36-96 et seq., effective July 1, 2020), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher — though landlords owning four or fewer rental properties are exempt. Call the RRHA Customer Call Center at (804) 780-4200.
