About This Building

Housing Assistance Programs in Richmond Providing housing aid to low-income residents is one of the key objectives of the Richmond Housing Authority. This is achieved through the management of various programs, including the Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8. Income-Based Programs Both the Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8 are income-based programs. This means that eligibility for these programs is determined by the guidelines set by HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development). Waiting Lists Due to the immense demand for housing assistance, there may be waiting lists for both the rentals and vouchers. At times, these lists may even close temporarily to new applicants, depending on the size of the lists and the length of the waiting period. Contact the Housing Authority If you are in need of housing assistance, we encourage you to reach out to the Richmond Housing Authority directly. They can provide you with more information regarding the eligibility requirements, availability of rentals or vouchers, the status of any waiting lists, and the application procedures.
