TextFairfax County Rental Program
Some developments have FHA-insured, reduced rate mortgages and some units receive Housing Choice Voucher (formerly Section 8 Program) subsidies, making them affordable to lower income households. The FCRP serves a range of households with incomes from the low teens to moderate incomes, depending on program component. Except for Housing Choice Voucher assisted units, all units have a minimum rent requirement and thus a minimum income for eligibility. The FCRP generally serves working households with incomes which are higher than those households in the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs.
Criteria Used to Select Applicants
The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) screens applicants for suitability for the Fairfax County Rental Program by confirming information provided on the pre-application form, including checking credit records, rental references, and police records. In some cases, HCD conducts a home visit to see how the family is caring for its current dwelling. Residents generally pay a minimum rent or 30% of their household income, whichever is greater, up to a ceiling (maximum) rent. However, at some properties, residents will pay a set rent based upon a standard of affordability. Applicants must also qualify by income (at least the minimum and no more than the maximum) for their unit/household size. Applicants must live or work in Fairfax County to be eligible to apply for FCRP in addition to meeting the income requirements.
Applying for the Rental Program
The Fairfax County Rental Program provides affordable housing for persons who lack the income necessary to enable them to afford market rate housing. There are several components to the program. You may apply for any of these if you meet the qualifications shown. To apply:
-
Please fill out an application to have your name placed on the appropriate waiting list. You can apply online at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/rha/apply.htm or obtain an application by calling the Housing Solutions Center at 703-385-3662. Your place on the FCRP waiting list is based on the date of your application and bedroom size.
-
Once your application reaches the top of the list, you will be notified by mail to schedule an appointment for an interview.
-
The interview is for determining your eligibility for housing.
-
Once you are approved and a unit is available, you will sign a lease and then may move in.

Maximum Income limits are adjusted for household size using the HUD methodology, and are rounded to the nearest $50. ** The Low Income Limit (80% MSA) published by HUD on huduser.org and used for Section 8 and Public Housing programs is adjusted so as to not exceed the National Median Income ($64,200 for a four person household in FY 2012). The Magnet Housing Program is not federally-funded, thus the 80% MSA income limit is based on HUD's non-adjusted income limit for Fairfax County, adjusted for household size using HUD's methodology and rounded to the nearest $50. NOTE: Magnet housing program currently serves Fairfax County Police and Sheriff's Department, Public Schools, Fire and Rescue employees, and INOVA Nurses and others providing critical patient care.

Subsidized Housing Units
There are ten properties in this component of the FCRP Subsidized Housing Program. Each property provides housing to persons with lower income levels than other Fairfax County Rental Program properties due to HUD (federal) assistance. Final determination of eligibility will be made at the time of the interview. (Rents and income limits subject to periodic review and revisions. Contact the property management office at each site for current information).
Apply directly at the Management Office of the properties listed below.
Families pay 30% of their adjusted income towards rent but not less than the base rent, and not more than the market rent as established by HUD. At Stonegate and Murraygate, there are some units rented under the Housing Choice Voucher program (formerly Section 8 program), which provides additional rental assistance as the family pays just 30% of its household income for rent. Minimum income requirements (on non-Housing Choice Voucher units) are based on the unit rent. For further information, contact the Mangement Offices directly.
