COVID-19 Emergency Virginia Rental Relief Program (RRP)
Virginia is immediately placing $160 million into the Virginia Rent Relief Program (RRP) to increase housing stability across the Commonwealth and will make additional funding available based upon need, through the Department of Housing and Community Development, who is administering the program.
Tenants interested in applying for the RRP should check their eligibility by completing the self-assessment at dhcd.virginia.gov/eligibility or by dialing 2-1-1 from their phones. Tenants may be eligible for rent arrears payments dating back to April 1, 2020, and up to three months of payments into the future. The total payments may not exceed 15 months of rental assistance per household.
Landlords may also apply on behalf of their tenants. To submit a landlord-initiated application, visit virginiahousing.com/rentrelief. Virginia law requires landlords to work with their tenant to apply for this assistance.
