Answer 3 quick questions — no account required.
How do I apply and qualify for Section 8 housing in Virginia?
Section 8 housing in Virginia includes both HUD Project-Based Section 8 apartments (218 properties listed below) and tenant-based Housing Choice Vouchers. In Project-Based Section 8 communities, the federal rental subsidy is attached directly to the apartment building under 24 CFR Part 880, meaning qualifying residents pay approximately 30% of their monthly adjusted income toward rent and utilities without needing a portable voucher. To qualify in Virginia, household income must generally fall at or below 50% of the county Area Median Income (AMI)—with at least 40% of units reserved for households at or below 30% AMI—and net family assets must not exceed HUD's $105,574 HOTMA cap. Because each Virginia property manages its own waiting list independently of local Public Housing Agencies, contact multiple properties below to apply directly.

Virginia Fair Market Rent (FMR) Reference Benchmarks
HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMR) are rental benchmarks used in housing programs; they do not set each voucher household's payment standard across Virginia (VA). Across 50 HUD FMR areas and 218 listed communities in Virginia (1,247 LIHTC tax credit, 341 Project-Based Section 8, 223 Section 202 senior, 224 USDA Rural Development), the property-location-weighted Fair Market Rent summary is $1,423/month for a 1-bedroom and $1,622/month for a 2-bedroom. Local Public Housing Agencies set their own voucher payment standards. The 90%–110% figures below are illustrative calculations from FMR, not guaranteed or official local payment standards.
| Unit Size | Illustrative 90% of FMR | Property-location-weighted FMR | Illustrative 110% of FMR | VA ZIP FMR Range (Min – Max) |
