Landlord Section
Virginia Housing is now administering relief for renters experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic through the Virginia Rent Relief Program (RRP). Landlords can now apply through Virginia Housing on behalf of tenants to receive funds to pay delinquent rental payments dating as far back as April 1, 2020 and forward. The Landlord component of RRP is open to the confirmed Owners of Virginia rental properties (including apartments, single-family residences and manufactured housing), with bona fide leases to qualifying tenants, and that agree to RRP requirements. You are not required to have financing through Virginia Housing or DHCD to apply.
Landlords: Contact rentrelief@virginiahousing.com.
Tenant Section
Tenants: Do you or someone you know need help with rent payments? To see if you are eligible, visit dhcd.virginia.gov/eligibility.
New federal regulations require two months of income documentation for at least the two months prior to the submission of the application.
