While jobs in Fairfax County may be plentiful, the development of housing has not kept pace with job growth. Furthermore, the cost of housing has placed Fairfax County out of reach, even for some who work here. The Magnet Housing Program provides attractive, well-located, affordable rental housing for qualified applicants so they can reach their career goals while enjoying the benefit of an affordable monthly rent. The program is operated by the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) and the Fairfax County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
