Closed: Roanoke, Virginia Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List

This waiting list is for Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher rental housing assistance in Roanoke, Virginia.

The Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher waiting list is closed.

The RRHA last accepted applications for this waiting list from August 15, 2022, until August 19, 2022.

There is no notice of when this waiting list will reopen however, a news report in October 2024 said the housing authority had stopped issuing new vouchers altogether until further notice. The reason new vouchers aren't being issued is two fold: 1) voucher holders were having a hard time finding rentals and 2) rents have skyrocketed increasing the cost of the program and leaving less resources and helping fewer people. With this, it is likely the waiting list will remain closed for years.

To apply during the opening period, applicants were required to complete the online application. Applications were submitted online; paper applications were not accepted. 

This waiting list had the following preferences: 

  • Elderly/ Disabled Family.
