The Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) is now accepting new tenant applications for selection to the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program waitlist. The RAD program, formerly known simply as “public housing,” provides 1,060 units of publicly owned housing to low-income households. Units include both single and multi-bedroom (up to four) townhouses, garden apartments, and condominiums located in communities throughout Fairfax County.
Applications must be completed online between 8 a.m. on June 7 and 11:59 p.m. on June 13. There are no application fees, and anyone may apply. Application instructions and program details are available online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/housing/RADApplications.
The RAD program generally serves households with incomes of up to 50 percent of the area median income (approximately $60,000 for a family of four). Tenants contribute 30 to 35 percent of their income for rent and the rest is received through a federal subsidy received by the FCRHA. Individuals receiving a unit through the program must meet all eligibility criteria at the time they are offered a home through the program.
