About This Program in Virginia
In Norfolk, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an NRHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Virginia
Apply through NRHA at nrha.us (online at nrha.myhousing.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 NRHA at (757) 624-8615.
