Housing Choice Voucher Program

The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP), formerly known as Section 8 Housing, is a HUD and Virginia Housing regulated program that assists very low-income families (including single, unmarried and married families), people with disabilities and older adults to afford decent and safe housing in the private market.

With tenant-based vouchers, participants have the freedom and flexibility to find their own single family or multifamily homes meeting appropriate housing quality standards and owned by a participating landlord.
