Housing Choice Voucher Program in Suburban VirginiaHousing Choice vouchers are rent subsidies formerly known as Section 8 vouchers. Vouchers are funded by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and are available in urban and suburban cities and counties. They are for people with very low incomes, and priority is given to those living or working in the city or county, those with the lowest incomes, and those with disabilities or over age 62. Within these groups, some areas set additional priorities.There are so many people asking for rent subsidies that all localities have waiting lists. Typically housing waitlists accept new applications once a year. Once on the waiting list, it is the applicant's responsibility to notify the voucher office of any changes in address, status or family composition. It can take two to five years (or more) to move to the top of a housing waitlist. Applicants must then prove that they qualify.To learn when your local housing waitlists are open, check your local newspaper, social service organizations and/or websites.Local Housing Choice Voucher ProgramsAlexandria CityAlexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority401 Wythe StreetAlexandria, VA 22314Ph: 703-549-7115 ext. 246Alexandria Housing Choice Voucher Arlington County Arlington County Department of Human ServicesEconomic Independence Division2100 Washington BoulevardArlington, VA 22204Ph: 703-228-1350Arlington County Department of Human Services(click on Housing and and then, under Rental Assistance, on Housing Choice Voucher Program)Arlington County residents are encouraged to apply for Arlington Housing Grants.(click on Housing and and then, under Rental Assistance, on Housing Grants Program)Arlington County Housing Grant ApplicationsCulpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock Counties Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board*15361 Bradford RoadCulpeper, VA 22701Ph: 540-825-3100 ext. 3421Rappahannock-Rapidan Rental Assistance Program* Rappahannock-Rapidan CSB clients residing in Fauquier County may choose to receive housing services through R-R CSB or through the Fauquier County office.Fairfax County, Cities of Falls Church & Fairfax, & Town of HerndonDepartment of Housing & Community Development3700 Pender Dr., Ste. 100Fairfax, VA 22030Fairfax County Housing ProgramsApplicants are encouraged to apply for the Fairfax County Rental Assistance Program.
