Staunton Redevelopment and Housing Authority Apartment Details

Staunton Redevelopment & Housing Authority has two primary programs; Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing. Below is some general information about each program.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program represents the federal government's primary program for the provision of decent, safe, affordable housing for low income families, the elderly and the disabled. Participants in the program are assisted in privately owned rental units. The portion of the rent determined to be beyond the participant's ability to pay is paid directly to the owner of the rental unit. The rental unit must meet housing quality standards established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Section 8 Rental Vouchers and Certificates are rental assistance programs wherein the Authority pay the difference between 30% of the tenants adjusted monthly income and the fair market rent to a private landlord on behalf of such tenant. The private units under this program must be of the appropriate size and meet HUD's required Housing Quality Standards.
    Funding Sources: HUD
    Eligibility Requirements: Families or elderly individuals with income below 50% of median income.
    Location: Staunton City and Augusta County.
